QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
MIXING TECHNIQUES
The hand mixer should always be set on
the lowest speed when you start mixing.
Speed 1
• Start mixing most ingredients
together
• Combine dry ingredients
• Start whipping cream
• Start whipping egg whites
Speed 2
• Start creaming butter and sugar
• Add flour to batters, or liquids to
dry ingredients
• Mash potatoes/squash
• Mix heavy cookie doughs
• Add nuts, chips, and dried fruit to
doughs and batters
• Add eggs to batters/doughs
• Mix pudding ingredients
• Cut cold butter into dry ingredients
(for pie doughs, biscuits, and
pastries)
Speed 3
• Complete beating cake mixes
and batters
• Complete mixing frostings
• Whip potatoes/squash
• Beat whole eggs/yolks
Speed 4
• Cream butter and sugar until
light and fluffy
• Whip egg whites
Speed 5
• Whip butter or cream cheese to
light and fluffy consistency for
dips and spreads
• Complete whipping cream
• Complete whipping egg whites/
meringues
• Always read entire recipe and measure
all ingredients before beginning the
mixing process.
• For best results, do not measure flour
directly from the bag. Pour into a
container or bowl, scoop out the flour
and level with the back of a knife or
spatula. For flour stored in a container,
stir before measuring.
• Eggs, butter or cream cheese combine
more thoroughly at room temperature.
• Remove butter for recipe first and cut
into ½-inch pieces, then measure out
remaining ingredients for recipe. This
will hasten the warming process. Do
not warm butter in a microwave unless
instructed to do so. Microwaving can
melt butter; melted butter will change
the final product.
• The best cheesecakes are made when the
eggs and cream cheese are at a similar
room temperature. While the EvolutionX™
Cordless Rechargeable Hand Mixer can
easily mix cold cream cheese, the trick is
not to add too much air, which can cause
cracking.
• For best results, use heavy cream cold
from the refrigerator, for whipped cream.
• To separate eggs for any recipe, break
one at a time into a small bowl, gently
remove yolk, then transfer egg white to
spotlessly clean mixing bowl. If a yolk
breaks into the egg whites, reserve that
egg for another use. Just a drop of egg
yolk will prevent the whites from whipping
properly.
• To achieve the highest volume when
whipping egg whites, the mixing bowl and
beaters must be spotlessly clean and free
of any fat, oil, etc. (Plastic bowls are not
recommended for whipping egg whites.)
The presence of any trace of fat or oil will
prevent the egg whites from increasing
in volume. Wash bowl and attachments
thoroughly before beginning again.

Crêpes with Chocolate-Hazelnut
Spread and Bananas
A sweet-tooth breakfast, or a fun
dessert, the crêpes can also be filled
with savoury items, such as scrambled
eggs and vegetables.
Makes about 18 filled crêpes
¼
cup (60 ml) unsalted butter,
cut into tablespoons (15 ml)
1
cup (250 ml) reduced-fat milk,
room temperature
¾
cup (175 ml) unbleached,
all-purpose flour
½
teaspoon (2.5 ml) kosher salt
1
tablespoon (15 ml) granulated sugar
3
large eggs, room temperature
1
teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
1
teaspoon (5 ml) unsalted butter,
room temperature
Filling:
½
cup (125 ml) chocolate-hazelnut
spread, room temperature
2 to 3 bananas, thinly sliced
Confectioners’ sugar, for serving
1.
Prepare the crêpes: Put the butter with
the milk in a small saucepan over low
heat. When the butter is melted, remove
from heat and cool slightly.
2.
While the butter/milk is heating, put the
flour, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl.
Mix on Speed 1 to combine, about
30 seconds. Add the eggs and vanilla
extract and mix on Speeds 2 to 3 until
the mixture resembles a thick and sticky
batter. While mixing on Speed 2, mix
in the milk and butter mixture until the
batter is smooth, increasing to Speed 3
once all of the liquid has been added.
Rest the batter in the refrigerator for
a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to
overnight.
3.
Cook the crêpes: Mix the crêpe batter
briefly on Speeds 2 to 3 to remove any
lumps that may have formed. If lumps
remain, pour through a fine strainer. Set
an 8- to 10-inch crêpe pan or nonstick
skillet over medium/medium-high heat.
Once pan is hot, add the 1 teaspoon
(5 ml) of butter. Tilt pan to evenly
distribute the butter; let pan rest on
heat for an additional 30 seconds. Add
a small amount of batter, a scant ¼ cup
(60 ml), and with the pan in hand, quickly
and evenly rotate it so the crêpe batter
thinly coats the entire bottom surface.
Allow to cook until set, about 2 minutes
(traditionally the crêpe should not brown).
Flip and cook on the second side for
no more than 30 seconds. Remove and
repeat with remaining batter.
4.
To serve, place one crêpe on a clean
surface. Put a thin layer of the chocolate-
hazelnut spread on half of the crêpe and
then top with the sliced banana. Fold in
half, and then half again and serve. Dust
with the confectioners’ sugar. Repeat
with remaining crêpes.

10-inch (25 cm) cylinder. Using a sharp
knife, cut into 8 even rounds. Place on
a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover
lightly and transfer to a refrigerator to
chill for a minimum of 1 hour, or up to

Speed 1 to combine.
5. While mixing on Speeds 1 to 2, gradually
add one-third of the dry ingredients to the
butter/sugar mixture, and then half of the
wet ingredients, alternating until all of the
ingredients are added and well mixed.
6. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf
pan and then place in the preheated oven.
Bake until cake is set in the middle and a
cake tester comes out clean, about 1 hour
and 10 minutes.
7. Allow cake to cool in pan on a cooling
rack for about 10 to 15 minutes, and then
remove from the pan and immediately
wrap in plastic wrap while cooling a
bit further.
8. While the cake is cooling, prepare the
lemon icing. Put all of the icing ingredients
into a small to medium mixing bowl and,
using Speeds 1 to 3, mix until completely
smooth, adding more sifted sugar or
cream to achieve desired consistency.
9. Once the cake is mostly cool, place it on
the cooling rack atop a baking pan (or foil
or parchment, something that will catch
excess icing). Drizzle or spread over cake
as desired. Allow icing to set and cake
to cool completely before cutting and
serving.

Spinach Artichoke Dip
A bit of a twist on the standard spinach
artichoke dip, for the more grown-up
palate. The combination of Gruyère
and Parmesan gives the dip a pleasant
nuttiness. No special pan required –
we found that using a pie plate was the
best and quickest way to warm this dish.
Makes 2 cups (500 ml)
Olive oil or nonstick cooking spray
12
ounces (340 g) cream cheese,
room temperature and cut into
1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces
2
ounces (57 g) Gruyère cheese,
finely grated
1
ounce (28 g) Parmesan cheese,
finely grated
1
garlic clove, finely chopped
½
small shallot, finely chopped
8
ounces (227 g) frozen, chopped
spinach, thawed and drained well
1
can (15 ounces) quartered
artichoke hearts, drained
2
tablespoons (30 ml) heavy cream
½
teaspoon (2.5 ml) crushed red
pepper
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) with the
rack in the middle position. Lightly coat a
9-inch (23 cm) pie or cake pan with olive
oil or nonstick cooking spray; reserve.
2. Put the cream cheese in a large mixing
bowl. Mix on Speeds 2 to 4 until softened,
about 30 seconds. Add remaining
ingredients and mix on Speed 2 to fully
combine, about 20 seconds.
3. Transfer mixture to the prepared pie/cake
pan and place in the oven. Bake
20 minutes, and then broil for an
additional 6 to 8 minutes, or until top
is nicely browned.
4. Serve immediately with pita chips,
crusty bread, and crisp vegetables.

Creamy Mashed Potatoes
This recipe is a bit of a blank canvas.
We keep it simple, but it can easily be
changed by adding mix-ins or toppings,
such as chopped chives or scallions,
crispy bacon bits, or shredded Cheddar.
Makes about 6 cups (1.5 L)
2½
pounds (1.1 kg) Yukon Gold
potatoes, peeled and cut into
1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces
½
cup (125 ml) whole milk,
room temperature
3
tablespoons (45 ml) unsalted
butter, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm)
pieces, room temperature
¾
teaspoon (3.75 ml) kosher salt

1. Put the potatoes in a medium to large
stockpot; add cold water to cover
potatoes by 2 inches (5 cm). Set over
medium-high heat to bring to a boil, and
then reduce to simmer until the potatoes
are very soft.
2. Drain the potatoes and return to the pot.
Mix on Speeds 1 to 2 to mash as desired,
about 30 seconds. Add the remaining
ingredients and mix on Speed 2 until
fully incorporated.

Buckwheat Chocolate
Chunk Cookies
The nuttiness of the buckwheat
is a perfect match for chunks of
bittersweet chocolate.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies
1½
cups (375 ml) unbleached,
all-purpose flour
¾
cup (175 ml) buckwheat flour (or
may substitute whole-wheat flour)
1
teaspoon (5 ml) baking soda
1
teaspoon (5 ml) kosher salt
½
teaspoon (2.5 ml) espresso powder
16
tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted
butter, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm)
pieces, room temperature
1
cup (250 ml) packed light brown
sugar
½
cup (125 ml) granulated sugar
2
large eggs, room temperature
1½
teaspoons (7.5 ml) pure vanilla
extract
2
cups (500 ml) chopped bittersweet
chocolate
Flaked sea salt, for sprinkling
1. Put the flours, baking soda, salt, and
espresso powder into a medium mixing
bowl. Mix on Speed 1 for about
30 seconds, or until fully combined;
reserve.
2. Put the butter into a large mixing bowl.
Mix, starting at Speed 1 and increasing
to Speed 3, until light and creamy. Add
the sugars and mix on Speeds 2 to 4
until very light, scraping down the sides
of the bowl as necessary, where it seems
that much of the sugar has dissolved
into the butter, about 2 minutes. Add the
eggs, one at a time, mixing on Speed 2,
and then the vanilla extract. Add the dry
ingredients and mix on Speed 2 until just
combined, and then add the chopped
chocolate and mix on Speeds 2 to 3 until
evenly incorporated.
3. Scoop the dough into even, golf ball-sized
rounds and place on a parchment-lined
tray or baking sheet. Wrap well and allow
to chill for a minimum of 1 hour, or up to
overnight.
4. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) with racks
in the lower and upper thirds of the oven.
Line two baking sheets with parchment
paper.
5. Once the oven has preheated, place the
chilled dough onto the baking sheets and
bake until just browned and set at the
edges, about 15 minutes. Remove and
immediately sprinkle baked cookies with
a pinch of flaked sea salt. Allow pans to
cool prior to baking remaining dough.

salt into a medium mixing bowl. Mix
on Speed 1 to fully combine, at least
30 seconds. Add the chopped ginger
and mix on Speed 1 to coat; reserve.
3. Put the butter and molasses into a large
mixing bowl. Mix on Speeds 2 to 4 until
homogenous, about 2 minutes. Scrape
down the sides of the bowl and then
add the sugars. Mix on Speed 2 until
very light, where it seems that much of
the sugar has dissolved into the butter/
molasses, about 2 minutes. Add the egg,
mixing on Speed 2, and then the vanilla
extract. Add the dry ingredients and mix
on Speed 2 until just combined.
4. Scoop the dough into evenly sized,
golf-ball rounds. Roll in the turbinado
sugar and then place the sugared dough
on a parchment-lined tray or baking sheet.

Gluten-Free (and Vegan!)
Golden Cupcakes
Unlike our muffin recipe which uses a
gluten-free flour blend, here we call for
individual ingredients that are now easily
found in most grocery stores.
Makes 12 standard cupcakes
Nonstick cooking spray
2
cups (500 ml) sorghum flour
1
cup (250 ml) potato starch
½
cup (125 ml) arrowroot starch
1
tablespoon (15 ml) baking powder
½
teaspoon (2.5 ml) baking soda
1
teaspoon (5 ml) xanthan gum
1
teaspoon (5 ml) kosher salt
1½
cups (375 ml) agave nectar
½
cup (125 ml) olive oil
¾
cup (175 ml) butternut squash
purée, room temperature
2
tablespoons (30 ml) pure vanilla
extract
1
teaspoon (5 ml) white vinegar
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly
coat a standard cupcake pan with cooking
spray. Cupcake liners may be used (these
may also be sprayed, so that the liners
cleanly come off the cupcakes).
2. Put the flour, starches, baking powder,
soda, xanthan gum, and salt into a large
mixing bowl. Mix on Speed 1 for about
30 seconds, or until fully combined;
reserve.
3. With the mixer running on Speed 2, add
the remaining ingredients, in the order
listed, and mix until all ingredients are
incorporated, increasing to Speed 3 as
the mixture becomes more homogenous.
Scrape the entire bowl to ensure all of the
ingredients are evenly combined, and mix
an additional 20 seconds if necessary.
4. Scoop batter into the prepared cupcake
pan. Bake until golden and a cake tester
comes out clean, about 20 to 22 minutes.
Remove from oven, cool in pans on a
wire rack until cool to the touch, and then
transfer cupcakes to a wire cooling rack
to cool completely before frosting.

and continue to mix on Speeds 2 to 3,
then add the vanilla extract and salt.
Mix again, on Speeds 2 to 3, until smooth
and fluffy, about 30 seconds.
2. If the frosting is too thick, add enough
water to mix to desired consistency.

Sour Cream Cheesecake
This recipe is rather straightforward.
While it is simple, it can be elevated
by topping with fresh or cooked fruit,
chocolate shavings,
or chopped cookies.
Makes one 8-inch (20 cm) cheesecake
(12 servings)
1
tablespoon (15 ml) unsalted butter,
room temperature
Graham Cracker Crust:
1
cup (250 ml) graham cracker
crumbs
2
tablespoons (30 ml) granulated
sugar
teaspoon (1 ml) ground cinnamon
4
tablespoons (½ stick [60 ml])
unsalted butter, melted and
cooled slightly
Filling:
24
ounces ([680 g] 3 standard
packages) cream cheese, each cut
into 4 pieces, room temperature
1½
cups (375 ml) granulated sugar
¼
teaspoon (1 ml) kosher salt
5
large eggs, room temperature
1
cup (250 ml) sour cream,
room temperature
1½
teaspoons (7.5 ml) pure vanilla
extract
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) with the
rack in the lower third of the oven. Coat
the inside of an 8-inch (20 cm) springform
pan with the tablespoon (15 ml) of butter.
Reserve.
2. Prepare the crust. Put cookie crumbs,
2 tablespoons (30 ml) sugar, cinnamon,
and melted butter into a small mixing
bowl. Mix on Speed 1 until the mixture
comes together. Pat crumb crust
evenly into the bottom of the prepared
springform pan, using the bottom of a
glass if necessary, to make it even. Put in
the preheated oven and bake for about
8 to 10 minutes, until the crust is just set.
Allow to cool while preparing the filling.
3. Wipe the beaters of crumbs. Put the
cream cheese into a large mixing bowl.
Starting on Speed 1 and increasing to
Speed 4, mix until very smooth – you want
to be sure there are no lumps. Scrape the
mixing bowl and beaters. While mixing on
Speeds 2 to 3, gradually add the sugar,
about ¼ cup (60 ml) at a time, and the
salt, mixing until very smooth. Add the
eggs, one at a time, mixing on Speed 2,
being sure each is fully incorporated into
batter before adding the next. Scrape
down the bowl and beaters and then add
the sour cream and vanilla extract. Mix on
Speed 2 until creamy, about 1 minute.
4. Wrap the cooled springform pan well with
both plastic and foil wraps – to come up
about two-thirds up the sides of the pan.
5. Pour batter into cooled, prepared
crust – do not scrape any thick bits
from the sides of the bowl, as they are
not thoroughly mixed in and will change
the texture of your finished cheesecake.
6. Put the filled pan into a roasting pan,
or something similar in size and oven
safe, and then add hot water so it
comes about halfway up the sides
of the springform pan.
7. Transfer the filled pan to the preheated
oven and bake for 45 minutes. The
cheesecake will still be jiggly at this point,
but that is OK. After the 45 minutes have
expired, turn the oven off and allow it to
rest in the warm oven for an additional
45 minutes.
8. Remove from oven and bring to room
temperature. Cover well and refrigerate
to fully chill prior to serving.

Classic Whipped Cream
Whether for topping ice cream and pie,
or as a dip for fruit, everyone should
have a foolproof formula for a basic,
sweetened whipped cream.
Makes about 2¼ cups (550 ml)
1
cup (250 ml) heavy cream,
well chilled
¼
cup (60 ml) confectioners’ sugar,
sifted
1
teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
Pinch fine sea salt
1. Put heavy cream into a large mixing bowl.
2. Start whipping cream on Speed 1,
gradually increasing to Speed 3, for about
one minute so that the cream has some
body. Add the sifted sugar and vanilla
extract and continue to whip to Speed 5
until cream holds stiff peaks, about
1½ minutes.
