A Few Tips For Baking Success

It’s never to early to start teaching our kids how to bake. Just ask Max!

1. Make certain you have the ingredients you need before you start. Double check that everything is what you think it is. For most recipes when they call for sugar, they are referring to white, granulated sugar. When they specify flour, they mean “all-purpose” (bleached or unbleached should not matter unless the recipe designates one).

2. Check the expiration date on everything you use. In addition to adding a bad flavor, some ingredients, if expired, will prevent the necessary chemical reactions from occurring.

3. When a recipe calls for eggs, the large size is normally what they are referring to.

4. The oven should be pre-heated before you place your food in it to cook. For most ovens this will require 10-20 minutes.

5. Don’t forget to set the timer. We’re all so busy it is easy to get distracted and forget to watch the clock.

6. When baking cakes, it is best to have your eggs and other ingredients at room temperature before mixing.

7. Store all dry ingredients in airtight containers.

8. Mix dry ingredients with a whisk before adding wet ingredients.
