The Science of Cooking
So in this post, I’ll try to help you understand better the science of cooking, about ingredients and how they go together. How does someone come up with a good recipe? Are there rules to follow? Not necessarily, but there are guidelines.
Have you ever tasted a biscuit that has a bitter aftertaste? What is causing that? Well, if you look at a recipe before you make it, you can tell if it will be bitter or not. There should be about 1 t. baking powder to every cup of flour. So if the biscuits have 2 c. of flour in them, and 3 t. baking powder, then you can see they will be bitter. Cut the baking powder down to 2 t. or maybe 2 ¼ t., but no more than that. Now try the recipe again and you’ll probably like it much better. Happy Cooking!
