WE HAVE GOT SUNSHINE.
I KNOW WE NEED THE RAIN BUT
ENJOY THE DAY OUTSIDE.
UP NEAR 80 DEGREES.
77 TOMORROW.
WE SHOULD COOLDOWN MIDWEEK INTO
THE 60'S AND AROUND 70.
MAYBE A LITTLE RAIN ON THURSDAY.
I AM SO READY FOR BAKING SEASON
AND WE WILL START KICKING THINGS
OFF TODAY TO TALK ABOUT BAKING
IN YOUR KITCHEN.
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS
GETTING READY FOR THANKSGIVING.
I AM
APPARENTLY NOT READY FOR
BAKING SEASON.
WHEN IT COMES TO BAKING IN
GENERAL, I AM ONE BIG QUESTION
MARK.
EILEEN HAS GOT A LOT OF GREAT
INTELLIGENT BAKING QUESTIONS.
OK.
JOINING US THIS MORNING, THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US.
WE WILL START WITH A QUESTION WE
HAVE FROM ONE OF OUR VIEWERS.
SHE ASKS, WHEN USING THESE IN
CUPCAKES, HOW DO YOU GET THE
CAKE FLUFFY?
WHAT I DO IS MAKE A CUPCAKE
WITH MY FAVORITE CAKE RECIPE.
AND I PHIL OR TOP WITH A FRESH
FRUIT.
I DO NOT TYPICALLY INCORPORATED
THERE YOU ARE THE COMPOSITION OF
THE CAKE WHEN YOU DO THAT.
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING LIGHT AND
FLUFFY, YOU WANT SOMETHING WITH
LESS MOISTURE.
YOU SAY THE TEMPERATURE
OF
THE MILK AND EVERYTHING PLAYS A
KEY ROLE.
TELL US ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS
WHEN
YOU USE BUTTER AND CREST HERE.
APPLE PIE, BAKING DOES NOT
HAVE TO BE --
FOR PIE DOUGH, THIS IS GOOD.
WHEN YOU WANT TO MAKE A PIE
CRUST, YOU WANT YOUR BUDDY --
YOUR BUTTER TO BE CHILLED.
WHEN YOU'RE MAKING SUGAR COOKIES
OR OTHER COOKIES, YOU WANT YOUR
INGREDIENTS TO BE AT ROOM
TEMPERATURE.
SO THEY INCORPORATE
WITH EACH
OTHER MORE EASILY.
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU CREATE
A NEST.
HOW DO GET YOUR BUTTER ROOM
TEMPERATURE QUICKLY.
YOU PUT THE BUTTER OUT ALL DAY.
YOU CAN MICROWAVE IT ON LOW.
JUST A FEW SECONDS AT A TIME TO
MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT MELT AWAY.
DO NOT MELT IT.
ABSOLUTELY.
IF YOU MELTED, YOU WILL CHANGE
THE STRUCTURE.
MY BAKED GOODS WILL NEVER
LOOK LIKE THIS.
OUR SHOW DIRECTOR HAS A
QUESTION
.
I WAS TRYING TO GET HER TO COME
IN HERE TO ASK IT, BUT THEN I
HEARD THE DOOR SLAM.
SHE WAS WONDERING HOW YOU GET
THE COOKIES LIKE THIS AND NOT
FLAT CUSTOMER IS TO DO IT AT
ROOM TEMPERATURE AND MAKING SURE
YOU'RE SCRAPING THE BOWL WHEN
MIXING IT AND GETTING ENOUGH
AIR.
EGGS AND BUTTER AND MILK AND
YOU GET IT AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.
HOW LONG?
IF I BAKE AT 4:00 TODAY, I
GO
HOME AT NOON?
ABSOLUTELY.
IF YOUR EYES ARE COLD, YOU CAN
PUT THEM IN A BOWL OF FROM
TEMPERATURE OR SLIGHTLY WARM
WATER.
THEY WILL WARM UP WITH THAT A
LOT QUICKER.
I'VE A QUESTION.
I WAS TRYING TO GO HEALTHY.
I OWE
IS TRIED TO PUT IN RUSSIA
GRANITE NEVER QUITE COMES OUT
THE SAME, ESPECIALLY WITH SUGAR.
YOU SHOULD REALLY USE
REFINED.
YOU SHOULD WHEN
YOU'RE BAKING
A LOT OF RECIPES THAT CALL FOR
THAT.
THIS IS A LOT OF SUGAR.
WE TOP THE PIE.
IT DOES NOT MELT AWAY AND IT
STAYS CRUNCHY AND CRISPY.
IT IS FUN TO USE.
I IS IT WHEN I AM MAKING FRUIT
INTO A PIE.
INSTEAD OF WHITE SUGAR, YOU CAN
USE BROWN SUGAR.
GENERALLY FOR COOKIES AND STUFF,
YOU CANNOT SUBSTITUTE.
I COOKED IT ONCE AND HE
CANNOT INTERESTING.
THE OCTOPI, QUITE A
BIT OF
NOT MAKE THEIR IT BAKING IS
NOT LIKE COOKING, OR YOU CAN
KIND OF GO, OK.
I WILL JUST
EYEBALL IT AND ADD A
LITTLE BIT HERE AND THERE.
MY PUMPKIN PIE ENDED UP TASTING
LIKE A HOT MIC A NICE.
IF YOU LIKE EATING HEALTHY,
YOU HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR PIES
INSTEAD OF WHIPPED CREAM.
YOU CAN USE OUR CREAM.
IF YOU THINK LITTLE TOO TIGHT
FROM YOU CAN START WITH A LITTLE
BIT OF SUGAR AFTER THE FACT AS
WELL THERE IT A NICE ALTERNATIVE
TO IT CREAM.
THIS IS WITH OTTER.
DRESSING UP YOUR HOLIDAY
TABLE.
PUT SOME SEA SALT ON IT, REAL
SMOKED SALT.
IT AS A LITTLE
YOUR HOLIDAY.
EVEN IF WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH
ON THE PLAY, WE ARE WAS WANT THE
BREAD HERE IN -- BREAD.
CLASSIC A LOT OF RECIPES
CALL
FOR UNSALTED BUTTER BECAUSE THEY
WANT YOU TO CONTROL THE SALT YOU
ARE PUTTING IN.
I GENERALLY OPT FOR NON-SALTED
AND I PUT IN SALT MYSELF.
CHRIS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
HAVING ME THIS MONEY.
I WILL GO HOME AND LET THE
SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS BEGIN.
HAVE A GREAT DAY.
