Best Baking Tips
Small habits that make a big difference in every recipe.
Spoon and level your flour
Spoon flour into the cup and sweep off the excess, or weigh it. Scooping can add up to 25% extra flour.
Bring ingredients to room temperature
Softened butter, eggs and dairy blend smoothly and trap air for a lighter texture.
Know your oven
An inexpensive oven thermometer shows whether your oven runs hot or cold.
Don't overmix
Stir batters just until the flour disappears to keep cakes and muffins tender.
Use parchment paper
Lining pans prevents sticking and makes cleanup — and lifting out bars — easy.
Cool before frosting or slicing
Baked goods keep setting as they cool. Patience gives neater slices and smooth frosting.
