What's baking mix?什么是烘焙混合套装

A baking mix is a mix of ingredients to which liquid,and sometimes oil,eggs or other ingredients are added to produce baked goods like muffins,biscuits,cakes and brownies. The earliest ones were made during the Industrial Revolution and proved helpful to those who lacked the time to stay home and carefully prepare food.These were commonly recipes for puddings or gelatin.

烘烤混合粉是一种烘焙混合套装原料,只需往里添加水、油、鸡蛋或其他原料就可以制作松饼、薄煎饼、蛋糕或布朗尼。

最早的烘烤混合粉出现在工业革命时代,是为了帮助那些没时间在家精心准备食物的人。混合粉常用于制造布丁和果冻。

Biscuit and muffin baking mixes were soon offered,and were developed almost simultaneously. The big names in the US for these early mix forms were brands that are still familiar,like Jiffy and Bisquick.Betty Crocker offered the first mix varieties for cake in the 1920s.

薄煎饼和松饼烘烤混合粉很快被研发出来,并广受欢迎。在美国,一些最早的烘烤混合粉品牌仍为人们所熟悉,比如Jiffy牌、Bisquick牌等。Betty Crocker牌蛋糕混合粉系列早在二十世纪二十年代就被研制出来。

In addition to saving time,many cooks,primarily women,preferred the predictability of the baking mix. With properly measured ingredients,the likelihood of turning out nice looking baked goods could be a big help.Early mixes often asked for the addition of numerous ingredients,but soon,many mixes came with powdered eggs,rendering the separating,cracking or beating of eggs unnecessary.You'll still find some varieties that require quite a bit of additional work.In fact,some are only slightly easier than the dry ingredients you'd mix on your own.

除了省时之外,许多烹饪师,甚至家庭主妇们,最喜欢这种混合粉的可靠性。这种混合粉经过精确测量,制作出来的东西都令人赏心悦目,非常可靠实用。刚开始烘烤混合粉需要添加其他多种原料才能使用,不久之后,许多混合粉本身就含有鸡蛋粉等成分,免去了添加鸡蛋等辅助原料的麻烦。实际上,有些品种的混合粉还需添加好多材料,只比自己亲自动手省事一点点。
