RECIPES

Mixing Tips

• Always read entire recipe and measure

all ingredients before beginning the
mixing process.

• For best results, do not measure flour

directly from the bag. Pour into a
container or bowl, scoop out the flour
and level with the back of a knife or
spatula. For flour stored in a container,
stir before measuring.

• Eggs, butter or cream cheese combine

more thoroughly at room temperature.

• Remove butter from refrigerator first

and cut into

⁄

-inch pieces, then

measure out remaining ingredients for
recipe. This will hasten the softening
process. Do not warm butter for baking
in a microwave unless instructed to do
so. Microwaving can melt butter; melted
butter will change the final product.

• The best cheesecakes are made

when the eggs and cream cheese
are a similar room temperature. While
the Cuisinart

PowerSelect

™

hand mixer

can easily mix cold cream cheese, the
trick is not to add too much air, which can
cause cracking.
