Tessa’s Top Baking Tips

1

Measure your flour correctly

Flour is SO easy to mis-measure when using measuring cups, as it can be easily compacted into a measuring cup without you even realizing. Too much flour can result in dry, dense, crumbly, tough and even rubbery desserts.

Learn how to accurately measure your baking ingredients with a digital scale here.

2

Use the correct kind of baking pan

The pans you bake on make a bigger impact on the finished product than you might think. I use light-colored unlined aluminum pans lined with parchment paper for baking all my cookies.

Learn more about nonstick vs. aluminum, and which pans specifically you should NEVER use, here.

3

Your baking will NOT turn out the same if you make substitutions

I believe butter, eggs, flour, and sugar are magical specimens and should never be replaced (unless medically necessary due to an allergy/intolerance).

I highly recommend making all recipes exactly as written. If you do decide to substitute an ingredient(s), just know the final result won’t be the same in texture and/or flavor.
