A few baking tips and tricks from pioneer days that may just come in handy in the 21st century! Have you tried any of these cooking hacks before?
A teaspoon of cold water added to the white of an egg causes it to whip more quickly, as well as increases the quantity.
Whip cream in a pitcher instead of a bowl to do it in half the time and without splatter.
When a recipe calls for two eggs and eggs are scarce, use one egg and sift one teaspoon of cornstarch with the flour.
A simple cake icing is made by using orange juice or any other fruit juice and stirring in sufficient confectioners sugar to have it in the right consistency.
To keep cookies fresh and crisp in the jar, place crumpled tissue paper in the bottom.
If the top of a cake is sifted with flour before icing, there is less danger of it running over the sides.
