ƒ Room temperature dough will spread out more than frozen or refrigerated dough.
ƒ The colder the dough, the less the cookie will spread / flatten out during baking.
ƒ Dough baked from frozen produces a thicker, better-looking cookie than ones that are baked from
refrigerated, or room temperature, which will spread out and therefore, have less height.
2.
The fat content of the dough.
ƒ A higher ratio of fat to flour will make the cookie spread out more during baking.
• Cheesecake
People generally love cheesecake and it’s not hard to make. Let’s start with a basic cheesecake batter:
♦ #3 cream cheese
♦ 1 ½ cups sugar
♦ 5 eggs
♦ lemon to taste
♦ 2 cups Half and Half (approx.)
This will make enough batter for a 10” springform pan.
There are so many fun options for making cheesecake, such as:
♦ Substitute chocolate milk for Half and Half in a triple chocolate cheesecake.
♦ Orange juice for an orange cheesecake.
♦ Baileys Irish Cream.
♦ Cookie dough.
♦ Turtle cheesecake.
♦ Lemon poppy seed.
♦ Pumpkin…peanut butter…pistachio…what else?
For my crust, I usually spray the inside of the springform pan with vegetable oil and dust it with graham
cracker crumbs. There are endless options for crusts such as shortbread, brownie, or Ladyfingers, or my
simple dusting of graham crumbs. It’s your choice.
Bake in a 200ºF oven for 4 hours, then cool, cut and serve.
Have fun with some imaginative sauces also:
♦ Walnut, caramel and chocolate chip sauce.
♦ Lemon sauce.
♦ Pear sauce
♦ Pistachio sauce.
♦ Cinnamon Squared² Sauce (cinnamon stick and candies).
• Muffins
♦ 15 minutes at 325ºF works well for most standard size muffins.
♦ For jumbo muffins, set the oven temperature at 300ºF and bake the muffins for 20 minutes or until a
toothpick comes out clean.
♦ The more dense your batter is, the longer your muffins will take to bake.
• Biscuits
For the test we used a basic baking powder biscuit about 3” in diameter. Bake at 350ºF for 10-12
minutes.
Some suggestions:
♦ A simple glaze can be made of powdered sugar and water.
♦ Glaze while your biscuits are still hot.
♦ Try peanut butter, lemon poppy seed, cinnamon raisin, cheese and bacon, sour dough, and of course,
good old buttermilk biscuits.
♦ Drop biscuits take about the same amount of time to bake and they are wonderful.
