Christmas without mounds of fresh-baked cookies and cakes just wouldn't be Christmas in most cultures. Yet with rising costs of ingredients, some families may have to cut back on the seasonal treats. In view of this, I've gathered together ideas on how to reduce costs in home baking. Some good suggestions on reducing sugar costs came from information put out by Agriculture Canada's home economists during World War II. They recommended serving desserts hot whenever possible since, for some reason, the same dessert will taste sweeter served hot than when served cold. You can probably reduce the amount of sugar in recipes without noticing any difference in sweetness. Try removing a couple of tablespoons from each cup of sugar required. Pudding with pudding sauce is popular at Christmas. To economize, use leftover syrup from canned fruit as part of the sweetener and liquid in sweet sauces. If you've paid for the sugar in those canned goods, it might as well be used. To avoid expensive failures in baking, always use tested recipes. Finally, select recipes which give the highest yield for the smallest amount of sugar. You might, for example, make specialty yeast breads to serve company. Usually these call for less sugar than cakes or cookies. When a recipe calls for milk, it's easy to substitute skim milk powder for fluid milk. Just mix the dry milk pcwder with the dry ingredients and add the required amount of water to the liquid ingredients. For example, if the recipe calls for 1 cup milk, you would add 1/3 cup of skim milk powder to the dry ingredients and 1 cup water to the liquid ingredients. Mincemeat is a popular ingredient in Christmas baking. This can be extended by adding 1/3 to 1/2 cup of shredded, peeled apples or chopped cranberries to each cup of mincemeat. Be sure to let this stand 2 4 hours before baking to give the flavours a chance to blend. <1mn 50s>
