Some Extra Sweet Baking Tips
You will love the taste of Purecane Baking Sweetener and how similar it browns to sugar. Here are a few tips to help you enjoy your Purecane baking experience:
- Don’t forget to bring your butter to room temperature if you are blending butter with Purecane.
- Purecane will take a little longer to blend with butter, but it is worth the wait.
- If you prefer a super moist baked result, consider increasing your eggs or the amount of butter you use.
- For recipes calling for 1 cup or more of Purecane™ Baking Sweetener, you may wish to add 1/8 teaspoon of salt for a better balanced sweetness.
