I cannot bake to save my life and will definitely refer back to your site for tips. I want to make my family’s congo bar recipe … last time I made it I overcooked the bars and they were hard, not soft and chewy like they’re meant to be. Sigh.

I always fluff mine up first just like in the video. This is a great tip for new cooks and bakers!

I still do it today, too. Though, I am going to invest in a food scale so I can get EXACT measurements.

I’m geekily thrilled by how precise it is!

That is about to change now. I ♥ how we are always learning. This is really essential to baking, and it’s time I made greater use of the scale. Thank you for the nudge!

I’m definitely not going to be scooping from the bag anymore. Thanks for sharing.

I’m always so devil-may-care about measuring, and it’s no wonder I occasionally get unexpected results when making baked goods. Thank you, thank you Barbara!

Though, growing up…my Mom and Grandma used to scoop up the flour from the canister ;o)

Flavourful wishes,
Claudia
