Food Facts & Glossary of Baking Ingredients

  • butter : 125g is equal to one stick (4 ounces) butter. Unsalted butter often called "sweet" butter as it has no added salt. The salt content of regular salted butter is sometimes discernable in a sweet recipe, especially with chocolate. You can use regular butter in most cakes and baking, but it's advisable to stick to unsalted butter when it's specified in delicate toppings, icings and so on.

  • pure icing sugar is also known as confectioners' sugar or powdered sugar; has no added corn flour.

  • self-raising flour is plain flour mixed with baking powder in the proportion of 1 cup flour to 2 teaspoons baking powder. Also available gluten-free from most supermarkets.

  • baking powder is a raising agent; consists of two parts cream of tartar to one part bicarbonate of soda. Gluten-free baking powder is made without cereals.

  • cream : we use pouring cream also known as pure cream.

  • thickened cream is a whipping cream containing a thickener. Has at least 35% fat content.

  • jam also known as preserve or conserve.
