🌟 Ingredient Spotlight: Milk – The Softness & Moisture Maker 🌟
Milk plays a quiet but powerful role in baking. It adds richness, tenderness, and helps bind ingredients together, making your cakes and breads soft and moist. It even helps with browning, giving baked goods that lovely golden finish. ✨
🥛 Types of milk in baking:
Whole milk: Adds creaminess and flavor.
Buttermilk: Creates extra-fluffy cakes, muffins, and pancakes.
Evaporated milk: Richer, great for custards and creamy desserts.
Plant-based milks (like almond, soy, oat): Lighter alternatives that can still work beautifully in many recipes.
💡 Pro tip: When substituting plant-based milk, try adding a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice to mimic buttermilk in cakes or muffins, you’ll still get that fluffy rise.
