7. absolutely! Soft wheat flour is best for biscuits and soft fluffy dinner rolls

and probably pie crust and cakes.

I do not make biscuits often, but I have made the whipped cream biscuits. My recipe is simpler with only whipping cream and self rising flour. SO good and you can partially bake them then freeze them . the recipe is called Angel Biscuits, I believe

the type of flour does, depending on the purpose intended. I doubt the "brand" does hlthe2b Jan 2019 #1
