TiME COOKING - BAKED GOODS AND DESSERTS

Converting Recipes

When adapting quick bread recipes, you will find it necessary to reduce the amount of leavening (baking powder or soda) by about one-quarter the normal amount. A bitter aftertaste is apparent if too much leavening is used in biscuits or muffins. Since food rises higher in the

microwave oven, you will not see a loss in volume from the reduction of soda or

baking powder,

If a recipe contains buttermilk or sour cream, do not Change the amount of soda, since it serves to counteract the sour taste and does not act only as a leavening agent.

When using a mix where leavening cannot be reduced, allow the dough to stand about 10 minutes before cooking in order for some of the gas to be lost.

Breads and roils should be reheated only until they are warm to the touch. Overheating or overcooking makes bread tough and rubbery.
