Baking Tips
- Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Spoon flour into the measuring cup and level off with the flat end of a knife. Never scoop the flour into the measuring cup or you will get too much flour for your recipe.
- If a recipe calls for kosher salt, be sure to use the right salt! If you only have table salt, then use half of the amount called for.
- Use the brownie scraps when you cut them into hearts as a topping for ice cream!
