127
Q

What happens with excess mixing?

A

Loss of CO2, overdeveloped gluten, tunnels, tough and heavy product

128
Q

Why does the center of a cake fall in?

A

The more sugar, the more time needed to reach to elevated coagulation temp of gluten. So as sugar increases the volume the cake also increases to the point where the volume is so great and gluten is so weak that gluten strands snap and the cake falls in the center

129
Q

A

use of oil, soft fats or fat cut into small pieces

130
Q

Flakiness of pie crust is promoted by
