Corn flour is made from maize (corn) and is used in some baked products to give a finer texture and can also be used as a starch to thicken sauces and desserts.

Rice flour is derived from rice and is used to give a finer texture in baked products such as shortbread biscuits.

Baking powder is a mixture of cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda and is used as a raising agent in baking.

Bicarbonate of soda also known as baking soda is an ingredient in baking powder and can be used as an additional raising agent or to darken some baked products.

Butter will give particular flavour and soft texture to baked products. Margarine can replace butter to give a similar result. Oil can be used in some baking to replace butter but will give texture and flavour differences — use only ¾ of the amount of butter.

Eggs should be at room temperature to give better volume when making cakes and sponges. Standard 60g eggs were used in the recipes.

Milk should be full cream unless specified. Light, low fat or skim milk can be used but will give texture and flavour differences.

Sugar (white crystal sugar) is used to give flavour, texture and colour to baked products. Caster sugar is often used in baking as it is easier to dissolve when creaming butter and sugar. Brown sugar is also easy to dissolve and can be used to give a different flavour and texture. The large crystals of raw sugar are slower to dissolve and can be suitable for baked products such as muffins.

The Scraper Beater can be used for a variety of mixing tasks. These include creaming butter and sugar, pastry, cake and biscuit batter, thin batter, icing and frosting. Due to the efficient mixing action of the Scraper Beater, the mixing time of many recipes will be reduced. Refer to the chart below for approximate mixing times for common mixing tasks.
