Ho-Ho-Hold the Sugar
21 Dec 2020
‘Tis the season of sweets and cocktails! Holiday season means bakers all around the globe are pumping treats out of their kitchens to eat and enjoy. Seldom are light in either sugar or calories. Our hearts love our family or neighbourhood kitchen elves but our muffin tops hate them. So if you’re one of them, here’s a tip you might want to try putting into practice.
Most baking recipes will turn out almost identically with half or even a third of the added sugar. While sugar plays an important role in the chemistry of baking, it is often used in excess of what science requires. While you may cringe at the idea of altering a family recipe, I urge you to give it a try. I can almost guarantee you won’t taste a drastic difference and waistbands all around town will surely thank you.
