Also, always sift your flour, even if it is "pre-sifted." It really can make a difference, depending on the exact recipe. Try it and report back on the results. I think you will be pleased.Unbleached and sifted myself? I will try that.
The unbleached flour will cost slightly more, but is no more trouble to work with. The sifting requires that you have a sifter, and is another step in the process. But it is an easy step that is not much work. It made a significant difference in the rising of my wife's biscuits.
When you try both of these things and like the results, you can then name all of your children after me.
