It’s Tip Friday on Marilyn’s Treats. And todays tip is Adding eggs, one at a time.
Adding Eggs One at a Time
After creaming together butter and sugar, the next ingredient in many cookie recipes is eggs. They should be added one at a time, each one thoroughly beaten in before the next is added, to allow the creamed butter/sugar mixture to most effectively retain its trapped air. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl so all of the butter/sugar mixture is incorporated.

I’m always in a hurry but now I’ll think of this every time I add eggs. I’ve never really even thought about it. Great tip!

This is a great tip Marilyn! I so often just add all my eggs to the bowl without thinking! I never knew the reasoning behind adding the in one at a time! Thank you so much for sharing with us over at #ThrowbackThursday!!

This is an awesome tip! It’s so important to remember that the little things can make such a big difference when baking. 🙂
I know Mary! When my grannie passed away I got her recipe cards. In the margins she had written all the tips and secrets that her mother had told her. I decided to pass them on. I knew she did these things but never knew why! Thanks for commenting.
