Baking tips for long pies
Making long pancakes is often easy, and it’s easy to get by with it.
If you choose one of the least complicated recipes, even cake baking beginners will find it easy to make, says Torun Nordbo.
It has the following general tips that can come in handy when starting baking:
- Eggs at room temperature give an extra dose of well-ventilated eggs.
- Line a tall pan with baking paper if you want to be absolutely sure it comes out of the pan easily.
- Always use a sieve when you’re dry – not only to avoid lumps, but also to make the mixture airy, light, and nice for a long pie.
- Place the tall pancakes in the oven once you have finished making the batter. If left on the bench for a long time, the air can leave the egg potion.
- No coincidence! Cake baking requires more precision than regular cooking – so you’ll benefit from precision and patience along the way.
- Always check if the cake is finished with a cake stick. If you stick to it, the long pie should be left a little longer in the oven.
