RECIPES
Mixing Tips
• Always read entire recipe and measure
all ingredients before beginning the
mixing process.
• For best results, do not measure flour
directly from the bag. Pour into a
container or bowl, scoop out the flour
and level with the back of a knife or
spatula. For flour stored in a container,
stir before measuring.
• Eggs, butter or cream cheese combine
more thoroughly at room temperature.
• Remove butter for recipe first and cut
into ½-inch pieces, then measure out
remaining ingredients for recipe. This
