Cupcake Baking 101: The Best Butter Cupcakes

Butter cupcakes are sometimes referred to as shortening cupcakes, but in essence, they are the same. These cupcakes use either butter, shortening, or margarine with flour, sugar, a liquid, and a leavening agent of some kind.

Once cooked, perfect butter cupcakes are slightly moist, velvety, and soft. They have beautiful golden brown tops that spring back when softly pressed. The tops are rounded and smooth, and they have an even texture that is not at all crumbly.

• Do not substitute shortening for butter or butter for shortening. You may substitute margarine for butter as long as the margarine is at least 65% fat. Cupcakes may be softer when margarine is used, but the flavor will still be wonderful. You may also use butter instead of margarine with a wonderful outcome.

• Have your butter, margarine, or shortening at room temperature before you begin the creaming step. It will be much easier to mix until light and fluffy if these ingredients are not cold.

• Don't add your sugar all at once to the butter (or shortening). Add it in 3 separate parts, beating until very light and fluffy.

• Always add your eggs one at a time making sure you beat them well into the butter/sugar mixture. It is easier to thoroughly beat one egg at a time rather than 2-3 eggs at once.

• If you are using a dark nonstick pan, you may have better results if you lower your oven temperature by 25 degrees. The best pans for baking cupcakes are shiny 12 well cupcake pans. The standard well size is 2 1/2 inches diameter and 1 1/4 inches deep.

• Preheat your oven! If your oven is not at the right temperature, your cupcakes will not cook properly. Avoid opening the oven door until at least the minimum baking time has passed. This will help keep your oven at a steady temperature.

• Cool cupcakes for about 5 minutes before removing them from the pan and allowing them to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

• Bake your butter cupcake batters in cupcake pans placed on the center rack of your oven. This allows for even heat circulation in your oven thus producing beautiful evenly cooked cupcakes.

Sometimes we all need a little reminding of proper baking techniques so I hope that these tips help both the seasoned baker and the novice weekend baker. Have fun, and get your family involved in your next baking project. It will add some laughs to your time in the kitchen!

Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

BASIC GUITAR CHORD

Basic Guitar Chords

"Easily Master the Chords You Must Know"

Every guitar player needs to develop the ability to play a set of basic guitar chords. Fortunately, by knowing only about a dozen chords, you can play at least a simple version of most of the songs ever written! Below you will see diagrams that show you how to play a set of basic guitar chords, perfect for the beginner to practice on!

The chords are presented in "families" of three chords that are related to each other musically- they just plain sound "right" played in various sequences. The chords in the "A Family" correspond to the key of A, with the A chord being "home base", typically used to start and end a song.

All of the basic chords shown below are in the "open position". This means that at least one of the strings, and usually more than one, aren't pressed while playing the chord. These are the easiest to learn, and enable the beginning guitarist to build a solid foundation for more advanced chord forms such as Barre chords, in which one finger presses down multiple strings across the fretboard.

If you are just learning, pick out one of the chord families below and practice forming one of the chords, strumming, and transitioning to the next chord in the family. Repeat as necessary until you are comfortable with the each chord shape, and able to make smoooth transitions to the other chords in the family. Practice makes perfect! (I learned most of these basic chords playing the Neil Young tune "Heart of Gold".) As a matter of fact, if you learn all the basic guitar chords below, you are well on your way to being able to play most Neil Young songs!

First Step-The A Family Chords: A, D, and E

Here are three basic chords (A, D, and E) that are the primary chords in key of A. These are among the easiest chords to learn. I recommend starting with these! Practice by playing them in any sequence: A...D...E...

A Major (A)

D Major (D)

NOTE: Please reverse finger positions 2 and 3 below for a correct D chord!

E Major (E)

Next Step- The D Family Chords: D, Em, G, and A

The D Family chords build on those in the A Family (above). The basic guitar chords in the D Family are D, Em (E minor), G, and A. So here we add Em and G. For me, Em is definitely one of the easiest chords to play, and as a minor chord, one with a really cool sound! Again, take the approach of practicing an individual chord, and then transitioning to the next one in the family, and the next, and the next, and the ....

After you learn a few chords, practice will become much easier because you can play actual songs! But first you need to pay your dues by learning the individual chords, and how to quickly and smoothly transition from one to another.

Again for the D family you will play these chords: D...Em...G...A

E Minor (Em)

G Major (G)

More Basics- The G Family Chords: G, Am, C, D, and Em

Now were getting somewhere! The G Family of chords consists of: G...Am...C...D...Em. To play these family of basic guitar chords, you only need to add the Am and C chords. Below are the chord diagrams for these additional two chords.

A Minor (Am)

C Major (C)

Great Bread Recipe

I have had great bread recipes passed down from my grandmother to my mother and finally to me. This is a great bread recipe.

Blueberry Buckle Brunch Bread

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup milk
2 cups blueberries
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg

Ok, now the directions on this great bread recipe. Cream 1/4 cup butter together with 1/2 cup sugar. Beat in egg and vanilia and stir until smooth. Sift together 1 cup flour, baking poweder and salt. Add alternately with the milk to the creamed mixture, starting with the dry ingredients. Pour intoa greased 9-ich square baking pan and top with blue-berries. Combine the remaining sugar and flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in remaining butter until the texture resembles coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle oer blueberries. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for one hour. Cool slightly before serving. This is a great bread recipe that I know will make your house smell great.

I like to plan ahead what breads I am going to make that week. As the winter comes I start to gravitate towards heavier more filling breads, such as sourdough and heavy coffee cakes. Of course, in the summertime I like the lighter more airy tasting breads, such as strawberry bread or a variation of angels food cake with lime. When you leave the house for a while and come back in to the smell of baking bread, I think you'll agree that there is nothing like the smell or taste of a great bread.
