Whenever a recipe says, “Bring to room temperature” by leaving the ingredient out for an hour, bear in mind that in the Tropics “Room Temperature” can be between 80-85 degrees. That is about a ten degree difference from the “Room Temperature” on the Mainland. So the consistency of your creation, and its ultimate outcome, could be really altered by the amount of time you leave out an ingredient.
I find this to be especially so with butter or for rising yeast doughs. Instead look for descriptions about the consistency of the ingredient or the volume of the dough. Look for clue words like “softened” or “soft” (there is a difference) for butter, or “doubled” or “tripled” in size for breads.
Benefit: Breads take less time to rise in a naturally warm Crucian kitchen than a colder State-side one! Yet another reason to relocate to our little rock!
