 The Different Mixing
 & their
Procedures
Objectives of Mixing Batters
& Dough or In Baking
 
Mixing is a general term that includes stirring,
beating, blending, binding, creaming, whipping
and folding. In mixing, two or more ingredients
are evenly dispersed in one another until they
become one product. Each mixing method gives a
different texture and character to the baked good.
The implements used, such as blades, whisks,
spoons, etc., themselves make a difference. They
have a great impact on what happens during
mixing.
 Stirring

 This method is the simplest, as it involves mixing all
the ingredients together with a utensil, usually a
wooden spoon, using in a circular motion.
 Blending

 Ingredients are mixed so thoroughly they become
one.
 Binding

 Ingredients adhere to each other, as when breading
is bound to fish.
 Creaming

 Fat and sugar are beaten together until they take on a
light, airy texture.
 Cutting in

 To distribute solid fat in dry ingredients by Bench
Scraper, two knifes (in a scissor motion), a pastry
blender, your fingertip or with a food processor
fitted with a steel blade , until finely divided.
 Whip or Whisk

 Air is incorporated into such foods as whipping
cream and egg whites through very vigorous mixing,
usually with an electric mixer or whisk.
 Folding

 One ingredient is gently incorporated into another
by hand with a large spoon or spatula. It creates little
aeration.
 The general objectives in
mixing batters and dough are:

Uniform distribution of ingredients;
Minimum loss of the leavening agent;
Optimum blending; and,
Development or prevention of gluten.
