Step 2: Open on a Computer

Open the file in Microsoft Word or a PDF reader such as Acrobat Reader.

Step 3: Type Your Recipe

Type your recipe details into the template. If you prefer, print first and write by hand.

Step 4: Save Your File

Save the file to your computer so you can reuse it later.

Step 5: Print & Cut

Tip for Clean Cutting

Place a cutting mat under your printed cardstock. Use a ruler and an X-ACTO knife to trim away the white edges for crisp, clean lines.
