Celebrating our Recipe Matriarchs

Delicious legacies of women at King Arthur! [logo]( Sunday Recipe Inspiration Batch 538 [Victoria Sandwich Cake]( Kye Ameden Recipe Editor Women's history is like yellow cake: sometimes looked over, yet a critical foundation upon which so many things are built. Today, we're shining a spotlight on that building block — in honor of Women's History Month, we're celebrating some of the women who have been important influences on the King Arthur recipe site and their delicious legacies. It starts before there even was a recipe site, back when recipes were printed in our catalog, The Baking Sheet, and chronicled in cookbooks like the King Arthur Flour 200th Anniversary Cookbook. Starting in 1976, co-owner [Brinna Sands]( was the original baker behind many of these recipes, and she's the one to thank for classics on the site like [Basic White Bread](, [Scones](, and [Victoria Sandwich Cake]( (above). Next in the lineup of women who changed King Arthur's culinary history is [PJ Hamel](, who filled a variety of roles from Chief Copywriter to Recipe Developer to Senior Content Editor. Notably, she was the lead author of the award-winning [King Arthur Baker's Companion](. PJ is responsible for staples on our recipe site like [Classic Peanut Butter Cookies](, our wildly popular [Easy Cheesecake](, and even the super [chocolatey]( [Cake Pan Cake](, which she first learned about from Brinna. Our Test Kitchen has been spearheaded by women the last few years, with [Charlotte Rutledge]( recently at the helm before current Test Kitchen Manager [Sarah Jampel]( assumed the role in 2022. Charlotte contributed hundreds of recipes to the site during her tenure. Today, she says her most baked recipes include [Whole Wheat Waffles]( and [Homemade Whole Grain Pancake Mix](, an easy breakfast to enjoy with her kids. For a sweet treat and birthday tradition, she makes [Perfectly Pillowy Cinnamon Rolls](, a well-loved former Recipe of the Year. For nearly half a century, Brinna, PJ, Charlotte, and Sarah have built a baking legacy here at King Arthur alongside many other proud female employee-owners. Cheers to them (and their recipes)! Sincerely, Kye This week at King Arthur Thinking about joining the club of sourdough bakers? [Start here](. Of the hundreds of recipes she's developed, [this is one of PJ's favorites](. Stock up on [Cake Flour]( so all of these [spring cakes]( can be in your repertoire. Fresh from the blog How do I prevent dry scones?
