When baking, how do you tell if your baking powder and baking soda are still good?
Baking powder loses its strength after about 6 months. Test it by stirring a teaspoonful into ½ cup of hot water. It should have a lively bubble…if it doesn't, throw it out.
For baking soda…mix a ½ cup of vinegar with a teaspoon of baking soda. If it starts to fizz…the baking soda is active.
If your brown sugar is hard…I'm sure you've hear about adding a piece of bread or an apple to soften it up…
Well next time try a soft marshmellow…it looks better and works great!
Save on the cost of cooking sprays…by pouring cooking oil into a spray bottle…voile'…spray oil at a fraction of the cost!
Did you know a standard mayonnaise or mason jar will fit most blenders? It's a perfect way to make frozen drinks and smoothies…and as a plus you can drink right from the jar!
