Lets Talk Ingredients

Listed below is a guide regarding some of the ingredients used in the recipes in this book.

Butter

Butter is made from approximately 80% milk fat (cream) and is churned over a period of time to produce a solid (butter). Butter is used to stabilize, texturize and add flavour. Butter may be salted or unsalted, it is best to use unsalted butter for cake baking. Clarified butter has the milk solids and salt removed, which is ideal for pastry making as it can be heated to higher temperatures than regular butter.

Note: Margarine can be used as a substitute for butter. It is made from vegetable oils, therefore it may alter the end result. There are various types of margarines, some of these are butter-margarine blends and fat reduced.

Yeast

A raising agent used in doughs. Yeast is a microscopic living organism that grows rapidly in suitable warm, moist conditions. The yeast plant feeds on sugar and expels carbon dioxide which expands the gluten framework. When foaming yeast do not allow the water temperature to exceed 40°C, as this will kill the yeast. A 26˚C - 30˚C, draft free area is most suitable for the growth of yeast during the rising process. Both Dry Yeast and fresh Compressed Yeast may be used in the recipes included in this book. (NB. 7g of dry yeast is equivalent to 20g of compressed yeast).

1 cup self raising flour = 1 cup plain flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.

1 cup plain flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder
