Cooking lesson - Leavening Agents
To leaven means to make light and porous (full of pores or tiny cells). A leavening agent causes cakes and breads to rise. Leavening agents include:
1. Air enclosed in beaten egg white as in sponge cake.
2. Steam, as in pop-overs.
3. Baking powder.
4. Soda and sour milk (or acid ingredient such as cream of tartar)
5. Yeast
More about how leavening agents work next post.
Last but not least, GRATITUDE. Gratitude is a leavening agent in our lives. It smooths out the rough days and allows us to feel peace amidst trouble. I am grateful for each of you. I love being your grandmother and your Mom!
Lots of love,
Grandma Davis and Mom
