Bakers and cooks always impress me. They always have to be part scientist, knowing how ingredients react to each other, and half artist, knowing what looks and tastes good.

I gotta be honest here, if I hadn’t gotten a degree in Pastry/Baking, I’d have probably been ok with most of these answers. Unfortunately, a lot of them were quite badly explained or the question was misconstrued (and the answers were weak af).

If a chocolate chip cookie is thicker than the longest dimension of the average chip, it’s too thick.
AJ

3:05 actually, it’s likely that the person isn’t refrigerating their dough. You should always refrigerate your cookie dough for at minimum two hours but it’s much better overnight.

My tip for successful buttercream is to whip the butter until it’s off-white (assuming it’s yellow to begin with). The air you are incorporating will give you the necessary structure to hold up the buttercream.
Mallory G
May 31, 2023 at 5:00 pm
Agreed. Also, you want the butter to be soft but not melting, which will lead to a greasy buttercream. And sift the powdered sugar! I have found that it makes the buttercream very fluffy and light.

My grandmother used tapioca to thicken the filling in a pie. She was a genius pie baker. I think you’re supposed to leave cheesecake in the oven until it cools to prevent cracking like that. Then take it out. I bake mine in a bain marie using Craig Claiborne’s recipe. Salt is a preservative. Salted butter often has a rancid undertaste. Not everyone tastes it, but I always do. I use unsalted because it is always fresh. You can make your own baking powder (in the US. anyway) with 2 parts cream of tartar, 1 part baking soda, and 1 part cornstarch. No undertaste of aluminum as in many commercial baking powders.

Here’s a tip for using black bananas for banana bread – if you have too many bananas don’t throw them away. freeze them in their peels. When you want to bake, just let them defrost on a plate. Perfect every time. 🙂
Glenna Ridgeway

Paul…mate…you didn’t actually answer the question about how to whip eggs to stiff peaks. That’s the only question so far you HAVEN’T answered (i.e., please let Prue speak).

Baking is chemistry in action. It is all about balancing wet and dry components, knowing how much manipulation a dough can tolerate, proper temperature ranges, patience, rising agents and having binding agents at cold, warm or room temperature. Less is more. Start low and go slow. Practice, practice, practice.
Lunay LeZarde
June 2, 2023 at 7:49 pm
Another way to not forget ingredients is to pre-measure and lay things out chronologically as they will be used in the recipe. The French call this _mis en place,_ and it’s an organizational method that’s become standard around the world for chefs of any stripe, including pastry chefs.

It might be the. hard thin cookie problem is due to using super fine/casters/bakers sugar. This fine sugar is not a universal baking product, it’s better for sauces and puddings. When I switched to baking sugar all my cookies went bad, and it took me forever to realize the problem.
