Some might be due to religions. With the above, some times, we might face some difficulties when we want to do baking. Hence, today, I would like to share some tips for “EGGS SUBSTITUTION FOR BAKING” . 1. Silken Tofu    1/4 cup pureed = 1 egg    Because tofu absorbs other flavors well, it makes a perfect, tasteless substitute for eggs in recipe     that need extra moisture. 2. Yogurt/Buttermilk     1/4 cup = 1 egg    Yogurt and buttermilk make baked goods more moist and flavorful. 3. Flaxseed Powder     2 1/2 tablespo...

I remember when i started my baking journey few years ago, i did faced many challenges especially when beating egg whites. Hence, I have made some research from google and below are my findings for sharing. For those whom would like to try cake baking, here are some tips for perfect Meringue – every time: 1. Start with fresh eggs, at room temperature. 新鲜室温鸡蛋。 2. Use perfectly clean, dried utensils and a deep, non-plastic bowl. Any oily residue can interfere with your egg whites. I always rinse with hot water each time before i use my mixing bowl. 凡是用到的打蛋白工具，都要干燥干净，无水无油。我每一次都会用热水烫过所有工具。 3. Start beating the whites at low speed until they are foamy (add in lemon juice) to stabilise the egg whites) , and then and move on to medium or even medium-high when beating your whites. Do not beat on high. Lemon juice is always my first choice, what i do is squeeze one lemon juice at keep in th使打发的蛋白霜更加稳定e fridge. Moreover, lemon juice can softer eggy smell from cakes as well. 加几滴柠檬汁或白醋会 Soft ...
