Cooking Tip of the Day! Baking

COOKING TIP OF THE DAY:

When baking biscuits, scones, pie crust…any dough that calls for “cold butter to be cut into small cubes” and “mix the cubed butter into the dough until a course bread-crumb-like mixture is formed” make your life easier…

…and use a cheese grater to grate the cold butter into the flour mixture.  This is perfect, because the butter will be in small pieces that will easily incorporate into a dough.  My grandmother taught me this when baking biscuits together, and I try to make use of it whenever I can.  It makes baking certain doughs faster and easier.

Last night, I made homemade pop tarts, they were amazing! Everyone has eaten them already…I should have taken pictures when I had the chance.  Click the link below to try the recipe yourself!
