In baking I will often reduce sugar by 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup, depending on what it is. I have a dinner roll recipe where it has 3 tablespoons of sugar ~ I use just half of that!<BR/><BR/>I have some friends and my FIL who have just visited the States to spend some time with my BIL. Both households & my BIL have all said that food in the States is much sweeter than ours...even the bread. Don't get me wrong ~ we love our sweet things too, but Aussie tastes are quite different, it seems.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511855282323456046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103758876428147420.post-44690119294771011072008-09-16T02:04:00.000+10:002008-09-16T02:04:00.000+10:00Are American recipes sweeter than most?

Normally I'm not one to mix sweet and savory, but pork chops are the grand exception.<BR/><BR/>I think your Miss Mischief sounds awfully nice.
