QuestionShouldn't I add to the baking temperature, rather than subtracting for higher altitudes? Can you explain #5 in the article more clearly?Community AnswerYes, I noticed that too. Everywhere else it says to increase the temperature, so I think this is a mistake. I find better results in my cakes when I increase the temperature.

QuestionHow can I make fluffy dumplings at high altitude?Mb_61547f46e107Top AnswererTo make fluffy dumplings at high altitude, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup shortening. Cut the shortening into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse meal, then add up to 1 cup of cold water gradually, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough briefly, divide into 12 pieces, flatten, and fill each with 2 tablespoons of filling. Seal the edges and steam the dumplings for 15 minutes.
