Baking requires technique. For example, a chocolate espresso pot de creme can easily become an uphill disaster. The milk and heavy cream must not over boil, the cream must be poured into the melted chocolate (not the opposite, or you're left with lumps), the chocolate mixture must be tempered into the egg yolks, or the yolks will scramble from the heat, the mixture must be baked in a water bath and covered in foil. Accidentally move the pan too much and the water gets into the mixture. Nothing is worse than a watery pot de creme. Baking is a small percentage of creativity and a large percentage of science. If you're up to the challenge, then dust off you're old math book on fractions and fill your pantry with the following baking essentials! As long as you know how to bake, life is sure to be sweet!
