Mixing Method Biscuit: cold solid fats Cut fat into flour (other dry) Combine liquid ingredients (including eggs) Add liquid to dry Mix until just combined, do not overmix Knead 5-15 times Rest Roll ½-¾ inch Cut/Portion/refrigerate Place nearly touching (high/softer sides), further apart for crusty Carefully re-work once Bake in hot oven

Mixing Method Creaming: fats soft, not liquid. Beat fat and sugar together to produce a very fine crumb and a dense rich texture. Yellow cake is an example. Generally used for cakes and cookies. Sift dry together Beat fat and sugar until color has lightened and mixture is fluffy Add eggs in stages Add dry and liquid ingredients alternately

Mixing Method Muffin: liquid or melted fats (PS Book: describes as Straight Dough Method: combine all ingredients and blend into a batter at once, Cornbread and blueberry muffins are examples) Combine/sift dry ingredients (including stuff) Combine liquid ingredients (including eggs/fats—temperature) Add liquid to dry Mix quickly (distribution) until just combined, do not over-mix (Tunneling: large tubular holes in muffins and cakes caused by overmixing) Portion into pan/tin Hot (not too hot) °F. oven (noses)

Mixing Method Foaming: egg. A foam of whole eggs, yolks, or whites, carefully folded in, provides the structure for cakes with a light texture such as angel food, chiffon, genoise, and sponge Genoise: whole eggs whipped with sugar, flour folded in (dry) Sponge: egg yolks mixed with other ingredients, whipped egg whites folded in (moist/tender) Angel: No fat, Large quantity of egg whites, high percentage sugar, some flour folded in (tall/light/spongy) Chiffon: vegetable oil used. Egg yolks mixed with other ingredients, whipped egg whites folded in, baking powder may be added (tall/light/fluffy, moister/richer than angel food)

Mixing Method Two-stage High Ratio: fine crumb, quite moist, Devils Food Cake High Ratio depends on using emulsified shortening Liquids are added in 2 portions, two stages. Blend dry and fat on low speed adding half liquid Add remaining liquid mixture (containing eggs/vanilla) in stages AMERICAN LAYER CAKE PROPORTIONS Classic Sugar ≤ Flour Total Liquid (with egg) ≤ Flour Egg ≥ Fat High Ratio Sugar ≥ Flour Total Liquid (with egg) > Sugar Egg > Fat
