Baking Tips

Flour Measuring Tip

Flour Measuring Tips
Baked goods with the right flour amount tend to turn out good.
Too much flour causes thick, dry, heavy, bad tasting bread, cookies, biscuits, etc.
This is how to correctly measure flour before using in a recipe: 
1. Sift flour into a bowl. 
2. Spoon sifted flour into measuring cup until it is  full.  This method keeps the flour light instead of packed.
3.  Never dip the measuring cup into the flour.  This will pack in TOO much.  
4. Use a knife to remove excess flour from the measuring cup.  Now it’s ready to use in your recipe.

Homemade Brown Sugar

Homemade Brown Sugar (Light or Dark) Tastes just like store-bought.  Lasts longer in fridge and doesn’t get hard like packaged brown sugar. 

Egg Cracking TipEGG CRACKING TIP:  When a recipe calls for multiple eggs, crack each one in a separate bowl. If one is bad, it will not ruin the other eggs.

Homemade Self-Rising Flour (Recipe

All I can say it is good to know how to make your own self-rising flour.  This recipe is a keeper!  

Storage Tip: Place opened bags of flour, cornmeal mix and sugar in plastic containers. Secure airtight lids. Place in cool dry place with labels facing you. Can easily see what each product is and how much is left. Perfect for families with children/teens learning to cook.

Cinnamon Substitutes

If you’re allergic to cinnamon, there are several excellent substitutes.  The spice(s) will depend on the dish because cinnamon is used in both sweet and savory food. Nutmeg and cloves have earthy and sweet flavors like cinnamon.  

Mace is similar to nutmeg, but is more tart and less sweet.   Get more substitutes in an informative online article published by Livestrong.com.

The name might suggest a blend, but allspice is a single spice made from dried berries of the allspice tree which look like peppercorns. 

Allspice is made from the dried berries of the Pimenta dioica plant, a member of the myrtle family. The flavor is similar to cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and pepper.  

This versatile seasoning can be used to flavor desserts, side dishes, main courses, and beverages including apple cider.   Read more on SpruceEats.com.

Red Velvet Bundt Cake

Vaccine Stickers (1st Shot)
Yesterday (March 11), I received the first Pfizer vaccine at my local hospital. My aunt was vaccinated on Tuesday (March 9). Delighted to share photos of the stickers we received from the nurse. Since I'm considered my aunt's caregiver, I was able to get my vaccine early. Not sure when my age group will be allowed to take the shot. My arm was extremely sore last night and I was feeling exhausted. Slept well. Feeling MUCH better today. https://www.cornbreadmillionaire.com I did a lot of thinking and praying before being vaccinated. Finally decided I'd rather deal with the symptoms of the vaccine than deal with that ugly virus.
