"Until recently, I was only aware of the Krusteaz pancake and waffle mixes, which I had always used. I didn't realize the company offered so much more. It has an entire line of muffin mixes, which I suggest checking out. It also sells quick bread and pound cake mixes - two things I generally only make from scratch on special occasions. But if a good mix exists, anything could become an occasion."
"This lemon pound cake had a gentle aroma of sweet lemons that wafted softly around my kitchen when first opened. Water, butter, and eggs are all it needed, so it was very simple to make. The one difference was that, while the vanilla pound cake came with a generic packet of confectioner's sugar to make a glaze, the packet in this one was lemon-flavored, which seemed nice."
"I wanted to see how easy they were to make and if they were worth taking the time to make at all - something I go into more at the end of the article. Even if it's a mix, a loaf is still going to take up an hour or so. You have multiple ingredients to add, long bake times, and you're going to make a bit of a mess. It's a commitment."
A shopper noticed Dolly Parton's bright pink baking mixes beside an extensive selection of Krusteaz options in a grocery baking aisle. Krusteaz offers more than pancakes and waffles, including muffin mixes, quick bread mixes, and pound cake mixes. Multiple quick bread and pound cake mixes were purchased and tested for ease and flavor. Mix-based loaves still require about an hour, extra ingredients, long bake times, and cleanup, making them a commitment. A Meyer Lemon Pound Cake required only water, butter, and eggs, included a lemon-flavored glaze packet, produced a gentle lemon aroma, and baked into an ample, weighty loaf.
