February 22, 2008, Newsletter Issue #25: Learning to Bake One Homemade Cookie Batch at a Time

Tip of the Week

Taking the time to read through the recipe from start to finish is the most important thing when baking.  After you have read through the recipe and understand all the directions, it is time to gather all of the ingredients and equipment. Make sure that you can get the ingredients to the proper temperature before you begin. Many recipes call for items to be at room temperature before they are to be used. Allowing an ingredient to reach room temperature can take time and this time needs to be accounted for in the baking process.

Follow the directions as outlined in the recipe guidelines. These directions are written in a precise order to make the recipe turn out as designed. Take you time when you read the recipe. Follow it explicitly for the best results. Most importantly, if you make a mistake or a recipe fails, don’t be afraid to try it again.
