My pantry is stocked with many amazing items””including baking mixes from Bob’s Red Mill. I love using Bob’s Red Mill products because of their high quality and versatility. Their mixes, flours and cereals are natural or organic, and they make many options for people following specialty diets.
One product I can’t do without is Bob’s Red Mill Buttermilk Biscuit Mix. It’s the perfect pantry staple””it will keep you covered for every meal, from breakfast to dessert. For family recipes, I keep Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Biscuit and Baking Mix on hand because my daughter is gluten-intolerant.
This Berry Good Tart is simple and delicious””and either one of the mixes mentioned above can be used to make the crust. It’s the perfect way to showcase the best of summer’s berries.
