A lot of things don't always work if you make them once. I knew there was a lot to be said for whipping egg whites, and I researched a lot before my first attempt, and I was very careful with all the dos and don'ts when I did it, and it was very successful very quickly!
It's a very simple process, the Internet said too complicated and scary, so it made my second pain, beat for 2 hours, just to reach the wet, the whisk is hot on the hands of the beaters, alternately, so 2 hours down, get in the mood to be extremely bad but also on the pot of chicken can not give up.
The reason is that my first easy success led to too much contempt for the process, did not pay attention to no oil and no water, did not add any acid to help hair, sugar also reduced the amount of sugar, and then added vinegar and sugar a few times, barely out of the `protein cookies, too sweet to eat. That's probably one of my most painful memories of the past 2 months.
It's important to respect the recipes greatly. Western food is different from Chinese food in that all the ingredients have to be measured precisely, so you can't just follow your feelings like you do in Chinese food. This is probably why I love baking hehehe, I don't have so much experience, feeling and old inaccurate, cooking is never good, but pastry, strictly adhere to the recipe and all kinds of precautions, and then familiarize yourself with the temperament of the oven, basically will be successful.
But for bread, it takes a lot more experience and feeling to continue to refine.
