Breakdown of the Wet and Dry Mixing Method #baking

The best way to support me and my channel is to order my upcoming cookbook, Dessert Course. Available for preorder everywhere books are sold and coming out April 1!

My goal with the book is to equip bakers with the knowledge and techniques to make all kinds of baked goods. With that in mind, the book begins with a breakdown of common mixing methods. For each mixing method there is: 
- a general set of steps to follow 
- an exemplar recipe that uses that mixing method 
- explanations for why a few key steps are particularly important for success 
- photos showing exactly what would happen if you change the procedure

"Take these blueberry muffins, for example." Sure, I'd love to take them.

I always overmix my muffins out of lack of confidence in the batter, but seeing how you do it does help! I always apreciate your tips, I hope one day my wallet isn't empty enough to get your book 😭😭😭

I don't know anything about cooking, but shorts that are tasty and calm like these definitely deserve a watch, keep spreading tasty recipes my guy

[bettyrubble]

Thanks for the tip! Mine are almost always over mixed. We’ll see if I remember this the next time I make blueberry muffins 😂

Oh I can see that stain in the paper, reminds me of some of the books in my kitchen. Good cooking books somehow are either messy or worn off

I always add the leaveners to the wet ingredients and after it’s all incorporated, I add the flour. Saves me from dirtying another bowl and my muffins come out perfect.

i always look forward to your uploads!

[gregcoe]

Channel is great. Love the content. Just pre-ordered your hardcover on Amazon. Can't wait

[dylwhs]

Low key drop hinting your new book is sneaky!

I've got an idea for another comparing video - flapjacks! How the different ratio of oats, sugar, syrup, butter etc, affect the crispiness, chewyness, and softness of flapjacks. Some recipes call for flour or baking powder, others don't. I came across one recipe that uses condensed milk for soft flapjacks.
Even when baking them, how using a shallow or deep tray will affect the texture.

[Objective-Observer]

You let your muffin batter rest? We were always taught to get that batter into the oven, before the leavening is depleted. Interesting.

I never use two bowls, just mix the dry ingredients first and pile the wet on top.
Always stop mixing when you _think it might_ be free of streaks, if you're wrong you can fix it as you scoop.
