MORE BAKING VOCABULARY (TO SLAKE)

Hello everyone; I hope you have had an excellent week. 

Today is our last lesson of the week about verbs related to BAKING.

Today's verb is: TO SLAKE

Definition: To mix a powder, such as cornflour, with a little liquid to form a paste in order for it then to be mixed into a larger amount of liquid without forming lumps.

Sentence 1: Mary, can you slake some flour? We need to add the flower to the milk and vanilla mixture, and slaking the flour will make it easier.

Sentence 2: Jack decided not to slake the cornflour, so there were lumps in the cornbread.

That's it for this week. We'll be back on Monday with another lesson.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
