10 Tips Before U Start


1: Read through the recipe & gather the ingredients, make sure all pans and equipment are clean and dry, wash & dry hands before starting.

2: Pre-measure the flour & other ingredients. Use the best & freshest ones you can find. Prepare any in advance, if necessary.

3: Use the appropriately sized baking pans & properly prepare them.

4: Adjust oven shelves & preheat the oven. Use an oven thermometer.
