Grandmothers' tips and tricks for successful baking
Baking is sometimes a breeze, but it also requires a certain skill set that takes the most basic chemistry and that cooks learn by practicing a large number of recipes. Our grandmothers sha re with us all their tips and tricks for successful baking! fashionglee
It is from experience that pastry chefs always let the pie
dough rest in a cool place before baking it. On the other hand, they put a
soufflé in the oven without making it wait too long. They also get into the
habit of kneading dough quickly with cool hands (if necessary, dipping them in
cold water first) because they know that dough worked too long becomes hard as
wood when cooked. All these easy and practical grandmother's tips that will
save you time in baking , we share them with you!
How to make pies
Broken, shortbread or flaky, the dough should always rest
for a while before being baked, so that the butter mixes better with the flour.
• The dough should never be kneaded for a long time,
otherwise it will harden during cooking.
• So that plums,
peaches or apricots cut in half do not soak the pie dough, do not place them
with the cut side but the rounded side on the dough.
• A thin layer of breadcrumbs or brushed egg white on the
dough will absorb excess juice.

Dried or
candied fruits
So that the dried or crystallised fruits do not fall to the
bottom of the cake or cake, roll them in flour before incorporating them into
the still liquid dough. The coolest way is to put them in a small plastic bag
(freezer bag for example) with the flour. Close the bag and shake vigorously.
Before using them for a compote or a cake, soak the prunes
and dried apricots in a strong tea decoction which will lend them some of its
flavor.
