Need help remembering baking advice? Anonymous Sun Mar 24 19:53:04 2019 No.12078124 [Reply] [Original]

Hey /ck/, I remember hearing some sort of secret passed around among people I've known that the secret to bakery stuff tasting so good is that they use double the amount of some ingredient(s). Don't know which they were, does anyone here?

lmao that's not how baking works at all. you can't just double a particular ingredient and expect the recipe to magically come out better or the same or at all. "baking is a science" is a meme, but not as far off as you might think

that being said, probably butter. the secret is always butter. it's why french recipes are so popular, but also why people from the southern US could roll around more easily than they walk

I fucking hate that basic white bitch who made cupcakes super popular for a year and now it's impossible to find one you don't need a fucking fork to eat

You're probably thinking of vanilla or just using higher-quality versions of things like vanilla/anything imparting actual flavor.
