List the FOUR parts of a recipe:

3 Reading a Recipe and Measuring 1. List the FOUR parts of a recipe: 1. List and amounts of ingredients 2. Step-by-step instructions 3. Essential info about temperature and equipment 4. Number of servings

4 2. What are the EIGHT steps to following a recipe correctly? 1. Read the recipe carefully before beginning 2. Check to see if you have all the ingredients 3. Pre-heat the oven if needed 4. Gather all equipment needed 5. Complete preparation of specific ingredients (EX: Chopped Nuts, Melted Chocolate, etc.) 6. Measure exactly! 7. Mix carefully, following each direction 8. Bake or cook at temperature and time directed

5 3. What is the most important step and why? #1! (Reading the recipe)-so you know what you need to do and what ingredients you need

6 How should you measure flour? Stir, spoon in the flour then level it off What should you NEVER do when measuring flour? Pack or tap the cup (it releases the air needed in the measurement)

7 How do you measure Sugar/Salt Spoon into dry measuring cup or spoons, level off How do you measure Brown Sugar Pack firmly, then level off (should hold shape)

8 How do you measure shortening 1. Pack with rubber scrapper, squish out air pockets then level 2. Water displacement method How do you measure Oil, Milk, or Water? With a liquid measuring cup, set on table, get down on eye level

9 How do you measure Margarine? Cut on measurement lines on paper wrapper How do you measure Eggs? Crack into a separate bowl first, then add to recipe When a recipe doesn t specify what size of egg it means large

10 7. When cutting a recipe in half, or when doubling a recipe: The cooking TEMPERATURE remains the same, but the SIZE of the cooking pan and the length of TIME will be affected. 8. When baking with a glass dish, you need to reduce (lower) the oven temperature by: 25⁰ Why? Glass conducts heat quicker than aluminum

11 C. Measurements 1. The 2 Types of Standard Measuring Tools (Coffee mugs, soup spoons and glasses vary in size and can t give accuracy) LIQUID INGREDIENTS DRY INGREDIENTS

12 2. MEASURING a. Flour: spoon into dry measuring cuplevel off Sift into dry measuring cup-level off NEVER tap or pack! a. Brown Sugar: Pack into dry measuring cup (with spoon, NOT hands!), level off. Should look like a sand castle a. Oil, Milk, Water: Pour liquid into liquid measuring cup. Come down to eye level to see the measurement. NEVER pick up the liquid measuring cup to check. a. Margarine: Use wrapping to measure Tbsps or cups. 1 cube = ½ cup or 8 Tbsp a. Sugar/Salt: Scoop into dry measuring cup-level off a. Shortening/Peanut Butter: Line dry measuring cup with plastic wrap. Scoop into cup, cut through to eliminate air bubbles, level off. Lift plastic wrap to remove contents. Fill liquid measure cup with water to a certain level, add certain amount of ingredient, ie: half cup water, half cup PB=water at 1 cup mark. Pour off water, add ingredient to product. a. Eggs: Recipes usually call for Large eggs unless specified. 1 large egg= ~2 Tbsp.

13 Measuring 3. Standard measuring cups come in what 4 sizes? 1/4 1/3 1/ Standard measuring spoons come in what 4 sizes? 1/4_tsp 1/2_tsp 1 tsp 1_Tbsp_ What two cups are need to measure ¾ cup? 1/2 + 1/4 = ¾ cup The bigger the bottom fraction number, the SMALLER the amount. ¼ vs 1/8 1/16 vs 1/3
