Baking Tips From a Non-Baker

Baking is an exact science and I am not an exact girl. When I cook, I never measure anything. Baking is a whole different precise ball game. I have had to learn a few tricks because while I am not a baker, I do love homemade goodies. We live in a world where we can get anything in a box, but there is a certain satisfaction that comes making something completely from scratch. I came up with a list of helpful hints that can help anybody, even non-bakers like me.

* Use a knife to level out ingredients in measuring cups. Even the slightest amount of too much or too little of an ingredient can make a huge difference.

* Always bring your butter and eggs to room temperature before baking. I look at these ingredients first and take them out of the fridge before I even get started.

* Patience is key (nor am I patient girl.) Do not bake when you are in a hurry because baking is too precise to rush.

* To get soft, gooey cookies, under cook the cookies and let them set on the pan for 5 minutes to finish cooking.

* Powdered sugar sprinkled on top of any baked good dresses it up. Just make sure the goodies are room temperature (not hot.)

* Use a plastic knife to cut brownies and they will not stick to the knife as you slice them up.

* Spray your spatula with non-stick spray when spreading sticky Rice Krispy Treats or any other marshmallow treat in your casserole dish.

We are not all Betty Crocker, but we can all bake up homemade treats for our families and friends.
