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 1/2-inch pieces, then measure out
remaining ingredients for recipe.
This will hasten the warming process.
Do not warm butter for baking in a
microwave unless instructed to do
so. Microwaving can melt butter; melted
butter will change the final product.
• The best cheesecakes are made
when the eggs and cream cheese
are a similar room temperature. While
