When you use a recipe, is it more of a guidelines and suggestions thing, or do you follow it to the letter?

1 Answer

Answer :

With baking, I follow the basic ingredients to the letter, because baking is like chemistry. So flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, sugar, etc. I will be precise. Maybe something like if it has nuts or raisins, I’ll eye it or throw in some extra, depending on what I like.
