Ana’s Kitchen Tips & Tricks:
1. When a recipe calls for sifting don’t skip the sifting procedure as sifting incorporates air into the batter
and makes sure that the dry ingredients are mixed well.
2. Keep Your Oven Door Closed at all times. You now know how the oven’s temperature can ruin a recipe.
But what can completely throw off the oven temperature is constantly opening and closing the oven
door to peek inside. I know you’re excited about what’s baking! It’s so tempting to keep the oven ajar to
see your cake rising, cookies baking, and cupcakes puffing up. But doing so can let cool air in, which
interrupts the baked good from cooking and/or rising properly. Rely on the light feature in your oven if it
has one.
