RECIPES

Mixing Tips
• Always read entire recipe and measure all
ingredients before beginning the mixing
process .
• For best results, do not measure flour
directly from the bag . Pour into a con-
tainer or bowl, scoop out the flour and
level with the back of a knife or spatula .
For flour stored in a container, stir before
measuring .
• Eggs, butter and cream cheese combine
more thoroughly at room temperature .
• Remove butter for recipe first and cut into
⁄
-inch (1 .25 cm) pieces, then measure out
1
2
remaining ingredients for recipe . This will
hasten the warming process . Do not warm
butter for baking in a microwave unless
instructed to do so . Microwaving can melt
butter; melted butter will change the final
product .
• The best cheesecakes are made when
the eggs and cream cheese are at a
similar room temperature . While the
Cuisinart Power Advantage
®
can easily mix cold cream cheese, the
trick is not to add too much air, which can
cause cracking .
• For best results, use heavy cream, cold
from the refrigerator, for whipped cream .
• For best results, whip egg whites in
a spotlessly clean stainless steel or
glass mixing bowl . If available, use a
copper mixing bowl .
• Chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, etc . can
be added using speeds 1 or 2 of your
hand mixer .
• To separate eggs for any recipe, break
one at a time into a small bowl, gently
remove yolk, then transfer egg white to
spotlessly clean mixing bowl . If a yolk
breaks into the egg white, reserve that
egg for another use . Just a drop of egg
yolk will prevent the whites from whipping
properly .
• To achieve the highest volume of egg
whites, the mixing bowl and chef's whisk
attachment or beaters must be spotlessly
clean and free of any fat, oil, etc . (Plastic
bowls are not recommended for whipping
egg whites .) The presence of any trace
of fat or oil will prevent the egg whites
from increasing in volume . Wash bowl
and attachments thoroughly before
beginning again .
• Occasionally ingredients may stick to
the sides of the mixing bowl . When this
occurs, turn mixer off and scrape the

sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula .
Note: All recipes are mixed with beaters
unless recipe specifies using chef's whisk .
