10 vintage baking tips that are still worth using
When it comes to baking, some techniques remain relevant no matter what decade you’re in. These tried and true baking methods are worth remembering today.
1. Add two tablespoons of vinegar to one cup of milk to create soured milk
2. Make whipping cream a breeze by adding a dash of lemon juice.
3. Place a bowl of water in the oven while baking for moist fruit cakes.
4. A pinch of salt in the bottom of a bowl will keep ingredients from sticking.
5. Heat a bowl up with warm water, empty, and place your butter in the still-warm bowl for softer butter.
6. Measure butter post melting, not before to get the perfect measurement.
7. Adding a tablespoon of jam to your biscuit dough keeps them softer for longer.
8. Substitute whipped cream for a slice of banana beaten with an egg white until stiff.
9. When separating eggs, if you get egg yolk in your whites, wet a cloth and touch the yolk, which will then stick to the cloth.
10. Prevent the curdling of custards by adding half a tablespoon of flour and half of sugar.
