Notes

  • General Baking Tips:
  • Always measure dry ingredients with a dry measuring cup. Measure with dry measuring cups or weigh dry ingredients.
  • Always measure liquid ingredients with liquid measuring cup
  • Never break eggs directly into recipe ingredients. Break eggs into a separate bowl, in case you get any shells, so that you can pull them out.
  • Make sure that you know what temperature your oven is set at. Buy an oven thermometer and check oven temperature regularly.
  • Always check baked goods, like cakes or quick breads with cake tester, placed in center. If the tester comes out clean, it’s done.
