Baking tips that make every recipe easier
A few habits that turn a good bake into a great one, whatever you are making.
Weigh when you can
Scales are more reliable than cups, especially for cakes and pastry.
Trust the timer, then your eyes
Ovens differ. Use the time as a guide and check for the colour and bounce the recipe describes.
Keep notes
Jot down your oven’s quirks and any swaps. The bake you can repeat is the one you can perfect.
