• Muffins
♦ 15 minutes at 325ºF/ 20% humidity works well for most standard size muffins.
♦ For jumbo muffins set the oven temp at 300ºF/ 20% humidity and bake the muffins for 20 minutes or
until a toothpick comes out clean.
♦ The more dense your batter is the longer your muffins will take to bake.
• Biscuits
For the test we used a basic baking powder biscuit about 3” in diameter. Bake at 350ºF for 10-12
minutes.
Some suggestions:
♦ A simple glaze can be made of powdered sugar and water.
♦ Glaze while your biscuits are still hot.
♦ Try peanut butter, lemon poppy seed, cinnamon raisin, cheese and bacon, sour dough, and of course,
good old buttermilk biscuits.
♦ Drop biscuits take about the same amount of time to bake and they are wonderful. Call me and I’ll
share a family favorite with you.
Biscuits can be so much fun to make and they are so easy that even kids can help make them. I remember
Mom throwing biscuits together for breakfast when we were growing up. Hot, delicious and full of TLC,
it just took her a few minutes, and I even got to help!
• Bread
♦ Large loaves (1 lb -1 ½ lb) baked in 30 - 40 minutes at 325ºF.
♦ We found that you can bake dinner rolls using the same method as you do for biscuits.
♦ Call and ask about “Butterflake Dinner Rolls” You’ll love them! (While you have me on the phone
ask about sourdough starter. You’ll be amazed at how simple it is to make and to use.)
• Pies
The variables for bakery products are endless, and pies are no exception. These are some of the things
which will affect your cooking time:
♦ Amount of sugar in the crust.
♦ Size of your pie tin and the amount of filling used.
♦ Butter or oil in the crust.
♦ Amount of shortening to flour.
♦ Your choice of canned or fresh filling.
For test pies we used 9” pie tins with homemade apple filling. Our crust was made using a basic 3-2-1 recipe:
♦ 3 parts flour
♦ 2 parts shortening
♦ 1 part (approx.) water
♦ With a little salt and a four finger pinch of sugar added

Convection Oven was preheated to 325ºF and the pies were baked for 45 minutes
to an hour depending on the filling. The aroma coming out of the Cadco Training Center was fantastic!
• Pizza
There are so many pizzas it’s hard to know where to start. The pizza we used for our tests were the 11”,
frozen, self rising type from the grocery store. They were all baked at 350ºF for 8 - 20 minutes on
FAKIRO
TM
Heat Plates (see page 12), and our results were great on all of them. (The pizza
manufacturers suggested a temperature of 400ºF for 20-30 minutes).
