RECIPES
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 from refrigerator first and cut into
•The best cheesecakes are made when the eggs and cream cheese are a similar room temperature. While the Cuisinart® PowerSelect™ hand mixer can easily mix cold cream cheese, the trick is not to add too much air, which can cause cracking.
