Mixing Techniques
Mixing methods greatly
affect flour mixtures and its resulting product. Various techniques have been developed for efficiency and convenience. Creaming Rubbing one or two ingredients in a bowl with the help of a wooden spoon or electric mixer to make a soft fluffy mixture. The creamed mixture should have both smooth and grainy particles. Cutting in – mixing fat and flour with the use of a pastry blender or two knives in a scissor-like manner. This method cuts fat into small pieces, coating them with flour to create coarse, granular mixtures for pastries and biscuits. Folding working with to ingredients – this is very gently to retain air in the mixture. It often involves one delicately textured ingredient such as beaten egg white or whipped cream, which would be reduced to nothing if handled crudely, and a batter type mix. Cut and fold – a combination of two motions cutting vertically through the mixture and turning over and over by gliding the spoon or rubber scrapper across the bottom of the mixing bowl at each turn. Beating – it is done to incorporate air in a mixture by mechanical agitation. It could be finished with the help of special gadgets like wire whips, egg beaters or electric food mixers or with a fork. Stirring – it is often done with a wooden spoon, rotating it through a mixture as long as necessary usually until the ingredients are combined. Whipping – it is a process of beating eggs and cream to fill them with air and make them thick and fluffy. Sifting – it is a process of separating coarse particles in the ingredients by passing through a sieve. Air is incorporated through this method. Kneading– This refer to pagmamasa or masa in Filipino. The process involves pressing, stretching, folding of doughs to develop gluten. This techniques makes dough smooth and elastic. THANK YOU FOR ACTIVE PARTCIPATION
