The kids learned several new techniques this week. They learned to separate egg whites, the importance of keeping the yolk out of the egg whites, and how to "fold" ingredients into recipes. Folding is a technique that means to 'blend'. You don't stir, mix or beat, that will deflate the egg whites for example. To fold means you take part of the mixture and bring up and over.....thus folding. You continue this until mixed well. You will not deflate the egg whites this way. We used this same process when we made the Peppermint White Chocolate Chex. We folded the chocolate into the cereal and did not crush the cereal by using this technique.
We had so much fun crushing candy canes :)
