MEASURING INGREDIENTS

Untitled Slide

• If you don't measure carefully, the pastry won't be good.
• Flour, fats, and other liquids need to be measured correctly.
• Fat coats flour in waterproof materials so it doesn't get too much water.
• Gluten forms a framework. This holds air and steam during baking.
• Liquid hydrates so gluten can form. Too much/little will not work.
