Rubbing in method<br />

• With this method the fat is rubbed into the flour.<br />

• The fat has a shortening effect like in pastry. The<br />

fat coats the flour particles and this prevents the<br />

absorption of water , giving a waterproof coating.<br />

• This prevents the gluten from developing which<br />

can give mixture an elastic and stretchy texture.<br />

Gluten is formed when the protein in the flour is<br />

mixes with water. If gluten cannot form, the<br />

mixture is shortened giving a characteristic short,<br />

melt in the mouth and crumbly texture.
