Quickly and accurately

Many people choose store-bought cakes because they believe that baking requires long preparations. When baking, it is really important to pay attention to the exact proportions in order to achieve the right textures and flavors, but it is not absolutely necessary to use a scale for everything. For example, you can save precious minutes by using the markings on the packaging of margarine, which is the excellent basis for most creams and pasta. In order to minimize the time it takes to put together the biscuits, it is worth putting the measured margarine in the freezer a few minutes ago. Grate the solidified margarine into the flour, use the ratio 3:2:1 (flour, margarine, sugar), crumble it, add an egg, and you have a great dough base. We can also safely use the well-proven mug method, familiar from our grandparents, to prepare cakes and mixed doughs. These recipes are usually based on the standard volume of the mug of 250 milliliters, and the amounts of the other ingredients are given accordingly.
