Question: What are the basic elements of dessert recipes!?
I want to know the base, if you will, of most dessert recipes, i!.e!. cupcakes, muffins, etc!. I know brown sugar is ussually an ingredient, along with eggs and stuff, but how do you make something homemade with very little ingredients, nothing extra or different, just simple ideas for a batterish substance to build multiple ingredients around!. Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com
