Throughout the year I have been asked numerous questions about baking and if I had any helpful tips. Therefore, I have decided to share some of my most used tips/tricks/items I love with you. Please note that this email contains some affiliate links. These links will be marked with an *. Baking Tips/Tricks 1. How to correctly measure flour: This is huge. Have you ever made cookies and they turned out really dry? I have, many times. The problem could be how you're measuring the flour.
2. Use a scale to measure out your ingredients. Have you ever seen ingredients listed in g, mL, oz before? This is because it is more accuracte to measure out ingredients instead of using measuring cups/spoons. Next time you bake, try measuring out the ingredients. I bet your bake will taste and look MUCH better. 3. Yes the quality and type of your baking pans matter. There is so much to go into on this so I figured it's best to reference this article from All Recipes. See Below. My FAVORITE pans to use is the Nordic Ware Natural Aluminum Commercial Baking Half Sheet Pan*. Yes this is one of my secrects to getting the perfect macaron and sugar cookies for my cookie cakes. It bakes everything evenly and is sturdy enough that it doesn't warp in the oven The 10 Best Baking Pans of 2021 | Allrecipes 4. Get to know your oven. It took me about a year and a half to perfect my macarons and learning my oven played a major part in this. Learn where your hot spots are and if you should use convection vs. regular baking setting on the oven. For me, I use convection when baking any cakes or sugar cookies, however, when baking macarons I use the regular bake setting. Things I rececommend for all bakers Using the right utensils and baking supplies while baking makes a difference as well in how your bakes turn out.
