Here are some essential baking tips:
Measure Ingredients Accurately: Baking is a science, so use measuring cups and spoons for dry and liquid ingredients to ensure precise amounts.
Room Temperature Ingredients: For better consistency, use room-temperature butter, eggs, and milk unless otherwise specified.
Preheat the Oven: Always preheat the oven to the required temperature before placing anything inside to ensure even baking.
Don’t Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can lead to dense or tough baked goods, especially in recipes with flour.
Use Parchment Paper or Non-Stick Spray: To avoid sticking, line baking trays with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
Rotate the Pan: Halfway through baking, rotate your pan for even cooking.
Let Baked Goods Cool: Allow cakes, cookies, or bread to cool before cutting or serving to ensure proper texture.
