Tuesday Tips ~ Baking

I love to bake!!  I can easily spend all day baking.  I have several recipes that have been passed down from generations before me that I just love.  Along with these recipes comes many tips.  I’d like to share some with you…

• add one tablespoon of jelly to cookie dough, it will add additional flavor to the cookies and will keep the cookies moist
• make sour milk by adding two tablespoons of vinegar to one cup regular milk
• to keep lumps out of a batter, add a pinch of salt to the flour while it’s dry, before mixing
• you can substitute sugar in a recipe with honey, but decrease the amount of liquid by 1/4 cup
• when substituting honey for sugar, bake the food longer and at an oven temp. 25 degrees lower than called for
• make sour cream by adding a small amount of lemon juice to a container of cool whip; let sit for 30 minutes
• salt the water for pasta after it comes to a boil; if you add the salt before it boils it will take longer to come to a boil
• add a pinch of baking soda to the water when boiling cabbage, it tenderizes the cabbage
