Using flavours in baking.
Types of flavouring for baking
Generally flavourings are either ‘water soluble’ or ‘fat compatible’. Both typically work well across a variety of baking applications. However, a ‘fat compatible’ flavouring may better retain its flavour when baked.
How to add the flavour
Our natural food flavouring should ideally be added to a key wet ingredient and then mixed in well to spread throughout the food you are flavouring. Our 15ml bottles come with a handy built-in dropper so you can easily add flavour by the drop.
How much flavouring to use
Foodie Flavours are highly concentrated so only a few drops are generally required. The amount you use will differ between flavours and vary according to your recipe. As a guide, use between 1ml and 3ml per kg of foodstuffs and adjust to taste. Some flavours may have a maximum limit which will be indicated on the label.
A quick guide.
Our recommended starting point for adding flavour – adjust to taste.
Cupcake/Cake Sponge – try 2ml (approx 40 drops) per kg
Buttercream/Icing – try 1ml (approx 20 drops) per kg
Biscuits/flapjack – try 2-3ml (approx 40-60 drops) per kg
Jam/Fillings – try 1ml (approx 20 drops) per kg
