Folding is a light and careful technique used to mix a dense ingredient into a whipped, airy mixture without losing volume. Air loss is minimized by scooping the mixture from underneath and folding it over the top with a spatula. This method is used especially in recipes containing air, such as soufflés and mousses.
Where It's Used
“Gently fold the flour mixture into the beaten egg whites with a spatula.”
