SmartPowerTM Tip:

Always read the entire recipe (ingredients and instructions) before beginning to bake. Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and utensils/appliances on your work surface. This will save time and make your cooking experience more pleasant.

SmartPowerTM Tip:

Creaming butter or margarine: For best results, remove butter or margarine from refrigerator and set aside while assembling other ingredients. This will allow butter or margarine to soften slightly before use and will make the creamed product creamier. Do not use frozen butter or margarine.
