Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Cake Note:
In This Recipe, The Milk Needs To Be At Room Temperature. Modern Cooks Pull Ingredients From The Refrigerator—Eggs And Milk—And Forget Their Cold Temperatures Will Make The Blending Of A Smooth Batter Difficult By Hand, Plus Cakes Made From Cold Ingredients Do Not Rise As High.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
