- When serving fresh fruit, brush a little lemon juice on sliced apples and pears to avoid browning.
- When measuring flour, spoon it into your measuring cu and level it of with the flat side of your knife.
- When a recipe calls for eggs. always use large size, unless otherwise noted.
- Always crack eggs into a small bowl before adding to other ingredients, to avoid any shell droppings.
- For great flavor and texture, always use butter if the recipe calls for it (margarine can contain a lot of water).
- Never substitute baking powder for baking soda and vice versa, although both help your batter rise they can give different results.
- Always Preheat the oven 10 to 15 before placing food in oven.
- Never Preheat a cookie sheet, hot cookie sheets may cause batter to spread.
thanks for the tips great blog thanks for all your stuff
Thanks, I do these things without thinking so when I get a call “hey Auntie how do I “? I probably would have forgotten to remind them of things if I hadn’t just been reminded!

These are great tips. I am always looking for new ideas.
Thanks. I didn’t know the fact about water in margarine
These are all great tips. thanks.
i love all of these ideas, they are great
i always leave the cookie sheet unheated as well
ow that is great i did not now about the cooking sheet
Good tips, did not know about always using large eggs in recipes. Like you I always use butter, can’t stand baking with margarine as it changes the taste and texture of the finished product.
Thanks for the tips. I bet the lemon will solve my problem with drying fruit slices too.
