King Roller Mills Family Friend Plain Flour, 32 oz

King Roller Mills Family Friend Plain Flour, 32 oz (2 lb) bag

Milled in King, North Carolina

Family Friend Plain Flour comes from King Roller Mills in King, North Carolina, the same Stokes County mill behind Cherokee Corn Meal. It's an everyday plain (all-purpose) flour for the way Southern home cooks really cook.

King Roller Mills is the hometown mill on East Dalton Road in King, North Carolina, in Stokes County, a working mill that grinds meal and flour (and animal feed) for the local community. Its bags have been a staple on King-area pantry shelves for decades, and you'll find them on the shelf at Lowes Foods in King today.

A personal favorite: I live just two miles from the mill, and I've eaten it every day since I was a boy. If you grew up in the Piedmont and miss the real thing, this is it.

How to use it

• Biscuits & baking: biscuits, pie crust, cakes and cookies (add your own baking powder and salt where the recipe calls for it)
• Cornbread: combine with Cherokee Corn Meal for a softer, more tender cornbread
• Fried fish, chicken & okra: a classic Southern breading and dredge
• Gravy: the base for sawmill gravy and a good brown roux
