Baking can be challenging, and for those just getting started, the challenges may seem overwhelming. We used to learn making secrets and tips from our mothers and grandmothers, but today, with many mom's working out of the home and less baking going on, it can be more difficult to learn how to cook at mama's side.

Learning baking vocabulary can be part of the mystery. When a recipe says to cream butter or cut in shorting. You might wonder exactly how to handle these tasks, especially if you are new to baking. We at Shirleen's Biblical Kitchen offer this list as a basic vocabulary guide to help bakers of all levels.
