How Your Best Recipes Can Work For You

If you have a Great Recipe it can really Work For You!

You likely watch in envy as you witness any master chef at work. Or you have probably been at a restaurant or friend’s house before and eaten a meal that leaves you envious because of the incredible quality and the belief that you won’t be able to create such a tasty recipe yourself.

The reality is though that these master chefs started where you are at today with very little knowledge of advanced cooking techniques and ingredient pairings.

They developed their cooking finesse and skill through a lot of practice and even though you may not witness them do this personally, via a lot of mistakes and a lot of recipes that simply didn’t work out.

Whether you are considering a master french chef or a pastry chef they have all gone through the same learning curve and period of experimentation.

As such you should start out with something simple to build up your confidence and work your way up. Mastering that first great recipe that you become confident in making and that is you can create with top quality every time should be your first challenge.

One way of doing this is to find someone else’s best recipe from one of the many great recipes available online and slowly tweaking and experimenting with it until you produce the perfect dish to suit your own taste and that of others. Now talk about enjoyable experimentation!

Test it on your friends until you find that many people think it is great also.

Once you have accomplished this final task you too will become the envy of your friends and any other that sample your special and very popular dish.

Softened Butter – 1 ½ cups
Baking Powder – 1 teaspoon
Sugar – 1 ¼ cups
Firmly packed brown sugar – 1 ¼ cups
Fresh Eggs – 2
Vanilla Essence – 1 tablespoon
Chocolate chips or chunks – 2 cups or 12 ounces

Easy method for you to follow:

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Mix all-purpose flour, baking soda and baking powder in a medium bowl and keep it aside. For better result, sieve the mixture 4 or 5 times.

Mix butter, sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl. You need to beat at a medium speed until it becomes creamy. Add eggs and vanilla and continue beating till all get mixed up well. At a low speed continue beating while adding flour mixture till you get a uniform mixture. Add chocolate chips and now the dough is ready to bake.
