Four Baking Tips You Can Follow
Prepare your flour, glucose syrup Malaysia, butter and spoons, because it is time to get baking. Or not, because the full ingredients aren’t even listed yet. Worse, the oven that you pre-heated is getting smoky because you spent three hours in a mall looking for and buying ingredients that you missed.
The cookies that you just baked also looked and tasted too fluffy. You are not eating proper cookies or biscuits, you are eating a discount cake. All the crisps are absent, never to exist in your mouth.
The point is that without preparation and proper baking, your finished products will be sub-par. Or you may end up making a messier baking station. If you really want to get the best out of your own baking, here are a few tips you can heed.
Prepare All Ingredients And Tools
The first step you should ever do is to gather and prepare all ingredients and tools first. Never use one at a time as you go along. The preparation can not only save you time, it also allows you to accurately measure certain ingredients such as flour or butter.
Read whatever ingredients that your recipe requires first, then place your ingredients on your counter, table or so. If you want to be more organized, you can separate the ingredients from wet to dry. The same goes to your tools where you can put your bowls and weight scale on one side, and your baking spoons on the other.
If you have a bunch of measuring cups or similar, any measurable ingredients can be prepared in them rather than using straight from a packet. Be sure to label or use different colored or size cups in case you forget which powder is the flour or baking powder.
Preheating The Oven
Preheating your oven early is another important step to take prior to baking. It allows your oven to be heated up long enough that by the time you have finished making the batter and it is ready to be baked, the oven is already hot. The temperature varies on your recipe, so set accordingly.
Do not give in to the temptation of peeking into the oven while your food is baking until the recommended cooking time is up. Otherwise you are letting cool air in to interrupt the baking process. There are ovens with panels that you can see through to see the doughs rising in real time.
Use Room Temperature Ingredients
When your recipe calls for room temperature ingredients, it means it. Leave those ingredients out of the fridge and wait until they reach said temperature. Cold butter won’t get creamed easily and cold eggs can shock and curdle the butter.
You could leave the ingredients in the kitchen overnight, but if, say, you want to hasten the process for your butter, heat it in a microwave for a few seconds, but keep watch that it doesn’t get too warm to the point where it looks greasy or shiny. In the case of eggs, you can run them under warm water in a bowl for a few minutes.
Leave Your Cookie Dough Overnight
Want richer and more decadent cookies? Leave the dough in the fridge overnight, or quick chill if the recipe calls for such for a certain time. The flavors in the dough will develop and the hydration will also make it less wet, concentrating on said flavors.
The result is that you will have nice, even baked and golden brown cookies. Delicious.
