We feel strongly that the best ingredients make for the best baking. But which items are really worth the extra cash, and where can you save?
Splurge on: Fresh, high-quality butter. It’s a key part of a cake, cookie, or quick bread, so this is the time of year to pull out all the stops and use the best. Lurpak®® is double-churned so it creams easily, even when cold, for smoother results.
Splurge on: Real extracts. Imitations are diluted, so you don’t get the same strength or flavor quality. You don’t use a lot per recipe, so you can make it last, but the best makes a noticeable difference in the taste.
Save on: Cookie sheets. Because of the high butter content of cookies, using non-stick cookie sheets is not as important.
