High altitude

[vicki-in-tucson]

We're spending the summer in the mountains and I seem to remember my mom adding something to her baking recipes to compensate. Any ideas? We're only at 6500' but the only person I know here is realitively new here as well, and to hear her tell it, she hasn't had any luck in baking.

As always, thanks for your help.

There are a lot of differences since there is less pressure...oven temperature, decreased leavening

agents needed.

You may want to google 'high altitude baking' as there are many specifics related to the type of baking and various heights.

I remember driving up to Aspen with a bottle of some gassy soda in the car. It exploded partway up.
