Are you a passionate hobby baker and do you also like to give away your delicious, homemade baked goods? Or would you like to give a gift to someone who loves baking but isn't really into it? If you are looking for exciting ideas for an attractively packaged gift from the kitchen, a homemade baking mix in a jar might be an excellent idea. Below you will find varied recipes, as well as instructions, tips and ideas for baking mixes with a great layered look.
Layered baking mix in a glass – instructions for making it yourself
When putting together the baking mix, there are actually no special rules that must be followed. When it comes to the great look, it is of course more advantageous to fill the glass with several different colored layers. Mix the flour with the baking powder and salt and pour the mixture into a suitable glass. Decide on a visually appealing order of the other ingredients and also layer them in a mason jar or storage jar or milk and mason jar. If you want to fill the individual ingredients into the glass cleanly and without spilling, use a simple funnel. To allow excess air to escape, knock the glass onto the table after each layer. This also means that the layers are pressed tightly together, which is crucial for a great look.
You are probably wondering how long the baking mix lasts in the jar. The shelf life depends on the individual ingredients you use. You can store flour, sugar and cocoa for up to eight months, while dried fruits, chocolate or nuts in the baking mix should be used after three months at the latest. If you have already filled in the irresistible tasting mixture of colorful ingredients, you must finally close the jar with a lid and, if necessary, store it in a dark and cool place. As an alternative to the lid, the jar can be closed with a cover made of baking paper or fabric and beautifully decorated with a ribbon or cord. In this case, the mixture should of course be used as soon as possible.
