Welcome to our first ever "Tuesday's Tips & Tricks" blog post!! Woohoo! One of our goals when creating LOS was to provide yummy tasting goodies for our friends, co-workers and loved ones. Who could have predicted that we would garner such a following that complete strangers would be calling us to place orders?!? Wow! As LOS has grown we have tried to not only keep our original goal but to expand upon it. We understand that there are times you want to make your own goodies and we want to help you do it easier, tastier and prettier.
Ok, stop drooling at the brownie batter and pay attention, that goes for ya'll too, our first tip is a
really good one!
When you're making a batter (cakes, brownies, etc) that calls for water to be added, this is your chance to add more flavor! Swap the amount of water for the same amount of another liquid that will compliment what you're baking. When making anything chocolate, coffee is a great liquid to use. However don't go crazy and add something strong like vanilla extract. In the past I have used coffee, fruit juice, soda and even a mild or complimentary liquor. No worries, the alcohol is usually baked out in most cases depending on time and oven temperature. There have been a few times where I don't have something else on hand to use or can't think of something complimentary so I keep a few flavored extracts on hand to add to the water.
So, what do you think of our first tip? Will you try this? We'd love to hear your thoughts about our tips & tricks and let us know some of yours!
