HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING

High altitude cooking can be very entertaining if you have recently moved to or are visiting high altitudes. For the purpose of these hints, high altitude is considered anything over 1,000 feet above sea level. Although there is no magic equation these tips might help you out if you are unable to get good results from your recipes.

Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and other like items may come out ok. If you want you can slightly reduce the baking powder and sugar, and slightly increase the liquid and see if you have better results. If you are still having problems you can try decreasing your oven temperature by about 20º and slightly decrease the cooking time also.
