Jaden’s Best Baking Tips
We don’t do a lot of baking on Steamy Kitchen so these tips will focus techniques that can be used for just about all baking recipes.
Grease a baking sheet with a cold stick of butter! It is a lot easier to grip a bar of butter and grease the inside of the pan rather than melting it and smearing it around with a paper towel. Plus it ensures that no butter is put to waste!
Have a sifter on hand because a lot of recipes will call for sifted ingredients. If you don’t sift something when a recipe calls for it, it’s not the end of the world, however, you may end up with a dry cake. Sifting or whisking your ingredients will aerate the flour and make for a fluffy airy texture.
Decorating a cake or cookies at home with the kids? Use a plastic bag, fill with frosting and then place in the fridge to chill. After about 15 minutes, remove from the fridge and snip the corner of one bag to create a convenient method to pipe frosting.
Extra tip: allow any hot desserts to cool completely before frosting to avoid a melted disaster
Don’t over mix anything! If a recipe calls for sifting, usually that is the method used to create a smooth silky batter. Recipes that don’t call for sifting probably require a few lumps of flour in them to create aeration. Small pockets of flour hold air, which will create a moist airy texture.
To keep cookies fresh, place a piece of bread in an air tight container with the cookies. The cookies will absorb the moisture with the bread and stay nice and soft. I like to use the heel of a loaf of bread because no one else eats that part of the loaf anyways!
