HI FRIENDZ AS A BEGINNER I WAS ALWAYS CONFUSED ABOUT THE GLOSSARY OF BAKING TERMS. SO WITH TIME AND PRACTICE I HAVE UNDERSTOOD FEW OF THEM.

SO TODAY I PLAN TO SHARE GLOSSARY OF FEW BAKING TERMS WITH YOU ALL!


  • BAKING BLIND: Baking a pastry lined tart tin without filling (pastry is the dough used to make tarts or pies).Place a round of baking paper on top of pastry and fill with any dry pulses like rajma,lobia,rice or ceramic baking beans ,then bake as the recipe instructs.   
        I USE RAJMA(RED KIDNEY BEANS) AS IT CAN BE STORED AND USED AGAIN

  • BEATING: A method of vigorously mixing with a spoon,fork,whisk or a hand blender with balloon attachment ,to combine ingredients evenly,to incorporate air into mixes.

ELECTRIC HAND BLENDERS WORK BEST FOR BEATING....I AM USING MORPHY RICHARDS....FROM LAST FEW YEARS....

  3. Hi........NEHA SHUKLA.....pulses or ceramic beans r required...as otherwise there r chances of the pastry being puffed up...weight on pastry dough while baking helps it to maintain its shape....
