    For all the questions where the answer was "your oven was the wrong temperature", the real answer is "you need to get an oven thermometer because you're oven likely isn't at the temperature you think it is."

      Also: pay attention to the placement of your oven rack. The temp at the top is not always the temp at the bottom, and depending on where the heat element is, you could be almost broiling something while baking.

    Baking is chemistry in action. It is all about balancing wet and dry components, knowing how much manipulation a dough can tolerate, proper temperature ranges, patience, rising agents and having binding agents at cold, warm or room temperature. Less is more. Start low and go slow. Practice, practice, practice.

    My tip for successful buttercream is to whip the butter until it’s off-white (assuming it’s yellow to begin with). The air you are incorporating will give you the necessary structure to hold up the buttercream.

    • @malloryg4251
      @malloryg4251 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Agreed. Also, you want the butter to be soft but not melting, which will lead to a greasy buttercream. And sift the powdered sugar! I have found that it makes the buttercream very fluffy and light.

    Another way to not forget ingredients is to pre-measure and lay things out chronologically as they will be used in the recipe. The French call this _mis en place,_ and it's an organizational method that's become standard around the world for chefs of any stripe, including pastry chefs.

    The answer for baking powder vs soda doesn't make sense. Baking powder is baking soda with an acid added, so they are used for different recipes depending on if the recipe is acidic or alkaline. Baking powder isn't just baking soda with moisture protection, they have different uses and they aren't necessarily interchangeable.

    That reminds me, I should feed Dave the Sourdough Starter; he's getting a bit hungry, I'd imagine.
    Oh, and a good note about starter: you don't use it all when baking. Just use part of it and feed the rest. Once it gets setup, sourdough starter is EXTREMELY hardy and tough to kill. I had mine setting in the oven (while it was off!) during the winter to keep him a little warmer and my wife went to preheat it for some chicken. It got to dang near 400F before I came out the bathroom and panicked. BUT, Dave was fine. Let the jar cool off on its own, removed some of the burned bits, and fed the rest. He bounced back almost immediately. Sourdough starter's like the Terminator of the baking world: once it gets going, it is very, VERY difficult to put down, lol.

    Not that Im great at it or anything, but the 1 thing I've learned over my long years is not to be too upset when you fail. Most cooking/baking really kind of comes down to practice practice practice. Just like almost everything in life. You cant be too attached to the fact you just spent oh, $20-50 on a recipe, 1-2hrs on it and its not 'great'. Is it edible? Well, then you did okay for that 1st run of it. Go again, and improve where you went wrong. Keep going and keep trying and improving on what you did. Before too long and really not even a big amount of money or time you've done a recipe you can be proud of and you can say, "yeah, I nailed that one, yum!!!" and boy howdy does THAT time taste great when you really hit. Because, YOU did it.

      I don't think they were questioning if Americans know what a vent is. I think the question was "what do Americans call that thing we call a 'vent'". Lots of different cooking / baking terms between the two countries.

    2:25 Don’t forget butter temp. Keep it 50 ~ 55 degrees F. If it’s too cold your butter will shard and break and you wont get that flaky of a croissant. Still will be delicious though 😊

    I think Paul didn’t really help the person at the end who’s struggling with buttercream. The most likely issue is that the butter is too hot (melting and greasy) or too cold (breaks into clumps but doesn’t cleanly incorporate with the sugar and whip up soft). Butter temperature has gotten me a million times with baking. It’s just so very much more important than is usually emphasized in recipes.

    It might be the. hard thin cookie problem is due to using super fine/casters/bakers sugar. This fine sugar is not a universal baking product, it’s better for sauces and puddings. When I switched to baking sugar all my cookies went bad, and it took me forever to realize the problem.

    I had a problem with flat cookies until I found out that butter in Europe has a higher fat content than American butter (not sure if it's a difference in cow breeds or feed that they'er given?) Cutting back on a little bit of the butter made all the difference between a pan of cookie puddles and perfect cookies.
