Kitchen Inventory: Baking Staples

Part three of a series of posts about the items regularly stocked in my kitchen.

Kitchen Inventory: Baking Staples

This is obviously not an experienced baker’s list of staples, as I am a novice baker at best. Still, these ingredients allow me the ability to produce a variety of quick breads, biscuits, pancakes, waffles, popovers, cookies, granola, pies, cobblers, cheese cakes, and regular cakes at a moment’s notice.

I would love tips on how to extend my list as well as how to make it healthier and more natural.
