High Altitude 101

If you are baking at high altitude, there are few easy adaptations that you will need to make in order for your recipes to turn out correctly. (High altitude is generally above 3,000 feet)

For each cup of sugar that you use, reduce the amount by 2 or 3 tablespoons.

Increase each cup of liquid in your recipe by 3-4 tablespoons.

If your recipe requires Baking Powder, reduce the amount by ¼ teaspoon for each teaspoon.

Finally, don’t forget to increase your oven temperature by 25º F.

You may need to experiment a bit with each recipe, and depending on your altitude minor adjustments may need to be made.
