COOKING TIPS:
Always preheat oven when baking. Oven should always be at the correct temperature.
Whenever making any pourable batter recipes, such as pancakes, crepes, or custard, always prepare in an extra large measuring cup. This allows easy pouring.
Also when baking, if the top of a recipe browns too quickly and the recipe isn't fully cooked, just cover loosely with aluminum foil for the remainder of the cooking time.
Do not double recipe.
