What are some examples of types of tarts?

Where do you place pans in the oven for even baking?

Individual ovens will vary and you can discover much from experience and observation. Hot air rises so the temperature will be hotter at the top of the oven and lower at the bottom. Most of your baking should be on a central shelf. You can turn a dish 180 degrees half way through the baking time to help ensure even cooking.

Cooking time can also be effected by the number of dishes you are cooking at once, so it's a good idea to place all the shelves you think you might need into the oven before you begin baking and check that all your dishes will fit onto each shelf. In that way you can swap dishes between the bottom and top of the oven during cooking without losing too much heat in the process.

Theoretically, if you are using fan bake the fan should distribute the hot air evenly around the oven and it should make no difference where you place the pans.

What is a clam bake?

Why is preheating necessary when baking?

Preheating is necessary because it ensures that the oven is at the temperature that you want it to be when you start cooking. If you do not preheat, you will probably end up with undercooked food, because you did not actually cook it at the right temperature for the right amount of time.

What is the recipe for snicker bar fudge?

* 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips * 1/3 cup butterscotch or peanut butter chips * 2/3 cup peanut butter, divided use * 1/2 stick (2 oz) butter * 1 cup granulated sugar * 1/4 cup evaporated milk * 1.5 cups marshmallow cream or fluff * 1 tsp vanilla extract * 1.5 cups chopped salted peanuts * 1 package (14 oz) caramels 1. Prepare a 9x13 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray. 2. Place the chocolate chips, butterscotch or peanut butter chips, and 1/3 cup of peanut butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, stirring after every 45 seconds to prevent overheating. Once the chocolate mixture is melted and completely smooth, pour half of it in the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer. Set aside the remaining chocolate mixture for later use, and place the pan in the refrigerator to set the chocolate while you prepare the next layer. 3. Place the butter, sugar, and evaporated milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the butter is melted and the sugar dissolves. Stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a boil. Once it reaches this point, stir continuously while boiling for five minutes. 4. After five minutes, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the marshmallow cream, remaining 1/3 cup of peanut butter, and the chopped peanuts. Spread this over the chocolate layer in the pan, taking care to not disturb the chocolate and to spread it in an even layer. Return the pan to the refrigerator to set the peanut layer. 5. Unwrap the caramels and put them in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1 tablespoon of water. Microwave until melted, stirring after every minute to prevent overheating. If the caramels are very stiff and resist melting, add another tablespoon of water, but only if completely necessary. (Adding too much liquid will make the caramel soft and cause it to ooze from the fudge once it is cut.) 6.Once the caramel is melted and smooth, pour it over the peanut layer in the pan. Smooth it into an even layer, and return the pan to the refrigerator to briefly set the caramel, for about 10 minutes. 7. If the remaining chocolate-peanut butter mixture has stiffened, microwave it briefly until it is melted and smooth. Pour the chocolate over the caramel and spread it into a smooth, even layer. Allow the fudge to set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. 8. Once set, remove the fudge from the pan using the foil as handles. Cut the fudge into small 1-inch squares, and put them in paper candy cups to serve.

What does maizena do in baking shortbread?

Maizena (cornflour) enhances the crumblyness of shortbread - since it is gluten free, it mixes in with wheatflour and disrupts the gluten bonds which would otherwise form.

However, many (if not most) shortbread recipes do not require the use of maizena. It's a modern addition which makes the baking of shortbread easier, since it covers up mistakes caused by overworking the dough.

How do Kosher and Halal rules apply to pastries and desserts?

A pastry that is purely vegetarian could be both kosher and halal. If a pastry contains lard, it is neither kosher nor halal. The use of carmine (red number 4), it is not kosher or hallal because carmine comes from a forbidden insect (cherry filling frequently has carmine die to make it an intense red). If a pastry contains rum, it might be kosher but it won't be hallal. If a butter-based pastry contains beef (for example, "pigs in a blanket" made with beef hot dogs), it could be hallel, but it is not kosher. (I say "could be" because both kosher and hallal certification are also concerned with the implements and oven used for baking, and with the provenance of the ingredients.)

Caster sugar's closest American equivalent is superfine granulated sugar, which can be hard to find; it is also known as bar sugar, as it is used to mix cocktails. It is sold in 1 pound boxes under the Domino brand. You can make it by running regular granulated sugar for several seconds in the food processor with the metal blade; this grinds the sugar to a finer consistency (superfine).

Why does the inside of my muffin become dry after baking?

Try just mixing the muffin mix until it is lumpy, not smooth. Sometimes, over-stirring the mix can contribute to dryness. Also, make sure you add the prescribed amount of liquid. If a large egg is recommended, make sure you have at least 1/4 c of egg (or egg plus liquid). I prefer to add milk rather than water.
