My 6 baking tips & tricks you need to know

This will help you in your every day baking.

so there are 3 tips and 3 tricks for baking

Tip:

Do you have a biscuit cutter? 
If not, you can use a glass or a small bowl instead.  An inverted glass with the rim lightly dusted in flour makes a fantastic substitute for a biscuit cutter and it doesn't have to be a small bowl or a glass you can use a tall can such as a beaked beans pot, a tuna can or even a clean medicine lid,  (it only depends what size you want it though) 

Have enough butter left for greasing a tray?  Use leftover margarine or butter wrappers to grease pans and trays.

Are all of your ingredients the same temperature?to making sure they are well-incorporated. Butter, with few exceptions, is typically used at room temperature. Make sure you've factored in the time  you’ll need to take it out so it’s ready to use when you start (this can vary depending on the season and how hot/cold your kitchen is). Same with eggs. Whether you use them separated or not, they beat up significantly better at room temperature.

Tricks

Do you know how to make a perfect tart shell?

-    -        Make the dough for your tart and cut it with a cookie cutter. (be sure to have a cookie cutter with a ridged side so it looks professional)

-        Get a mold such as a sauce bowl and get your pastry flat on your hand,  put the sauce bowl on top of your pastry dough and use the remaining around the bowl to make a template.

Do you pay for your sprinkles?

Instead place sugar into a jar with a tight fitting lid. Drip the food coloring onto the sugar, close the lid, and shake vigorously for about 1 minute. Adjust color with additional food coloring and repeat if the color is too light.

How should you turn your bakes around in the oven?

Rotate your baking sheets 180 degrees, halfway through the baking time. Baking on the center rack is best, but if you are using multiple oven racks, switch the position of the sheets, moving top to bottom, bottom to top. Both steps will help the cookies brown evenly and help to prevent over-browned edges.
