Anonymous asked: What does "folding in" mean?
cooking/baking term: fold in
(1) The folding technique is used to gently combine light and airy mixtures into a batter. Folding also traps extra air in the batter.
(2) it is important the mixtures you are combining be approximately the same temperature so they will combine smoothly.
(3) When folding, the lighter mixture is poured over the heavier one
(4) Using a rubber spatula, start at the back of the bowl, cut down vertically through the two mixtures, across the bottom of the bowl and up the nearest side (a loop-de-loop). This down-across-up-over motion gently turns the mixtures over on top of each other, combining them in the process.
