Mixing Tips

•Always read entire recipe and measure all ingredients before beginning the mixing process.

•For best results, do not measure flour directly from the bag. Pour into a container or bowl, scoop out the flour and level with the back of a knife or spatula. For flour stored in a container, stir before measuring.

•Eggs, butter or cream cheese combine more thoroughly at room temperature.

•Remove butter for recipe first and cut into ½-inch pieces, then measure out remaining ingredients for recipe. This
