In general, when you want to put on some flavor to your baked product, you are asked to make use of flavoring extracts (i.e., strawberry, peppermint, vanilla, orange, or more). But ever thought of those tempting bottles of flavoring oils lying on your favorite chef's kitchen shelf? What could those oils be used for? Is it possible to use them instead of extracts?
