The reason for adding the lecithin/fat blend after the flour at the solidification or globulization of the fat in the chilled or cold water whilst same time coating into suspension. Provided that flour particles as they are incorporated In any event, the stringy batters are avoided, this method should be ideal. mixing mixing method to suit the ingredients, formulation and equipment should be determined in situ. Commercial temperatures considerably from 20-35°C. It is recommended that the temperatures are be preferred, to avoid development that lower ikewise, lower temperatures can occur with higher temperatures. of help to reduce or more correctly avoid the ssibility fermentation in pipe work and ringmains etc. hence a further reason for the use of cold or chilled water It is not usual to check batter details on every batch following mixing unless problems occur. However, using a specific recipe, which has proven to give an acceptable product, the following details can be recorded over several mixings and retained for reference as a benchmark or standard as required. Batter temperature Viscosity (flow time secs) Specific gravity Solids content (w/w The reason for controlling the viscosity is an attempt to minimize the variation and improve efficiency so that sheet weight and thickness is standardized and maintained. It would also appear that awareness of pH is not a common parameter in wafer batters or in the baked wafer itself. Checks on various standard batters however give figures of from 6.4 7.0. Wafers to be chocolate molded o enrobed could benefit in terms of flavor from a slightly higher or more alkalin pH, as previously mentioned. Care has to be taken however that this is no too high as shelf life could be negatively influenced
