and this requires adjustments when making your favorite recipes!
Love your Grandma’s chocolate cake or love to bake bread? If you’ve recently moved 
to Colorado Springs and tried to make your favorite tried and true recipes, you may have found they didn’t meet your expectations. If the bread didn’t rise or the cake didn’t turn out or even if the beans wouldn’t ever get done, its probably due to the fact that living in Colorado requires some adjustment to your lowland recipes, especially when baking. Even when making a boxed mix or a pasta dish be sure and follow the high altitude directions. You’ll find that beans, pasta and brown rice all need longer cooking times as the water boils at a lower temperature here.
I hope you find these adjustments helpful:
-
For each teaspoon of baking powder or baking soda, decrease by 1/4 teaspoon.
- For each cup of sugar, decrease by 2 Tablespoons.
- For each cup of liquid, increase by 4 Tablespoons.
- Increase your baking temperature by 25 degrees
