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.
After learning to Add Eggs One at a Time try your skill with this Strawberry Jello Poke Cake or this Gluten Free Dairy Free Angel Food Cake!
This article is part of the Tips That Help in the Kitchen Series, Tip Friday.

September 24, 2015 at 8:57 PMI 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.
