Basic Ingredients For Every Bakers Kitchen
I have been baking since I was old enough to stand on a chair and follow simple instructions from my parents. As soon as I moved out of my parents home, I excitedly went to the grocery store with the intention of filling my kitchen with the basics. I soon realized that this task would be much more difficult and frustrating than I expected. With so many options, I wanted to take half the grocery store home. Unfortunately, my small budget only allowed me to take the basics home.
My advice to anyone trying to stock up on baking ingredients is, don’t go to the store without a list and a budget.Never heard of this before? Get up to speed here. Assuming your budget is as small as mine was, start your list off with these essentials: flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. For those with a sweet tooth, be sure to grab vanilla, brown sugar, powdered sugar, and chocolate chips. Then, go to the refrigerator section and pick up some fresh eggs along with unsalted and salted butter. These ingredients will give you hundreds of simple recipes to get started on. I suggest beginning your baking adventures with a warm, delicious batch of chocolate chip cookies.
