EGGS

Eggs should be at room temperature to give the correct volume to baked goods. Crack the eggs

individually into a separate bowl and only then add to the other ingredients. This will prevent ruining

the entire batch if one of the eggs is rotten. If you will be whisking the egg whites, carefully separate

them from the yolks. Egg yolks contain fat and their remains prevent the successful whipping up of egg

whites. Before you start whipping the egg whites, make sure that the whisk and the mixing bowl are

completely clean and without fat residues. Otherwise, the egg whites might not be perfectly whipped.

MILK

Full-cream milk should be used unless indicated in the recipe otherwise. Low-fat or half-cream milk can

be used but the ﬁnal taste and texture of the baked goods may be different.

SUGAR

Usually white granulated sugar is used. It adds ﬂavour, texture and colour to baked goods.

Caster sugar is also frequently used because it dissolves easier when it is whipped with butter. Brown

sugar may be used to add a different taste and colour to the baked goods.

BAKING

• Allow the oven to preheat to the correct temperature before starting baking.

• The baking temperature may differ depending on the type of baking oven. Reduce the temperature

indicated in the recipe by 15–20 ˚C if using a hot-air oven.

• Instead of ﬂoured baking pans and trays, you can use parchment paper if appropriate. You can coat

the baking pan with a small amount of fat to prevent the parchment paper from sliding on the

smooth surface of the baking pan.

• Test that the baked good is ﬁnished before taking it out of the oven. Gently touch the top of the

baked good, if it returns to its initial shape, it should be properly baked. Carefully insert a skewer

into the middle of the baked good and pull it out. If the dough does not stick to the skewer, the

baked good is ﬁnished.

• To make biscuits crispier, take the baking tray out of the oven and place it onto a metal rack. Move

the individual items on the baking tray from their baking location and allow them to cool down.

Once they cool down move them from the baking tray to a platter.
