Cream helps thicken and sweeten any recipe. While heavy cream is often more effective, light is the healthier alternative. A small amount will do a lot for the quality of a recipe.
4. Eggs
These help to combine the ingredients and enrich the product. Tasty and healthy, eggs are used everywhere in baking. Be sure not to eat any uncooked egg, however; sickness will often result.
3. Sugar
Sugar is the ultimate sweetener. It comes in many varieties, such as white, light brown, dark brown, powdered, etc. In addition, sugar ensures that the product is moist. While it is vital to many a recipe, one must be careful not to overuse sugar.
2. Milk/ Butter
Like sugar, milk keeps a batter moist. In fact, they are often combined with sugar, creating a sweet mixture that is common in pastries. Butter is very similar, moistening a product and adding delicious flavor. However, it also adds the fat needed to create a perfect end result.
1.Flour
One would be hard- pressed to find a baking recipe where flour is not used. Flour makes sure a batter rises and thickens as necessary. A recipe without flour is a poor recipe indeed. Yeast can be substituted for flour in bread and other products, though.
