Tips for Better Results

Measure flour by spooning into the cup and leveling rather than packing it.
Allow baked goods to cool before storing to reduce condensation.
For food allergies, check labels for dairy, nuts, wheat and eggs as applicable.

Make-Ahead and Storage

Store cooled portions in covered containers. Refrigerate dairy-based items promptly, and freeze baked portions when suitable.

Common Questions

Can I change the ingredients?

Yes, but changes to flour, liquid, eggs or cooking proteins can affect texture, cook time and food safety. Keep the basic proportions for the first attempt.

How do I know when it is ready?

Baked recipes should be set in the center; a tester inserted into the cake portion should come out without wet batter. No-bake treats should be firm after chilling.
