Peel an apple

Melt chocolate

Measure flour

Roll out dough

Practice with store-bought pizza

dough. On a floured surface,

roll out the dough with a rolling

pin, rolling from the center to the

edge. Give the dough a quarter

turn every so often.

Wash and dry the apple first. Working

from top to bottom, gently shave off the

surface of the apple with a peeler in a

straight line. Continue around the apple

until all the peel has been removed.

Don’t pack flour into your measuring

cup—you’ll add too much and end up

with dry cakes and cookies. Instead,

scoop or spoon flour into a measuring

cup, then scrape off the extra with

the straight side of a butter knife. The

flour should be level with the top of

the measuring cup.

Flip pancakes

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat

and coat with butter or cooking spray. Pour

¼ cup pancake batter into the skillet for each

pancake. Wait until small bubbles appear on

top and the bottom edges start to brown,

then slide a flat spatula under the pancake

and quickly flip the spatula to turn the

pancake. Cook until the other side is golden.

Try making swirls of frosting on

cupcakes: Fill a piping bag with

frosting; snip off a corner (or use

a round piping tip). Squeeze the

frosting down toward the tip

of the bag to get rid of any air,

then seal the bag with a rubber

band. Hold the bag vertically with

both hands about 1 inch above

a cupcake. Starting at the outer

edge, gently squeeze the bag

and work your way around the

cupcake in a spiral.

Pipe frosting

Double-Boiler Method

Place chopped chocolate in a

heatproof bowl and set it over a

saucepan with an inch or two of

simmering water. (Don’t let the

bottom of the bowl touch the water

or the chocolate will get too hot.)

Stir the chocolate with a rubber

spatula until melted and smooth.

Microwave Method

Put chopped chocolate in a

microwave-safe bowl. Microwave

30 seconds at a time, stirring

after each interval, until melted

and smooth.
