Baked products have 7 main ingredients. Which one is NOT one of those 7?

• Sugar

• Flour

• Flavoring

• Fat

• Sugar

• Salt

• Eggs

This ingredient was used in your biscuits (baking powder), muffins (baking soda),and cinnamon rolls (yeast)--it helps a product rise.

• Leavening agents add structure to the product

Spices, herbs, and extracts (like vanilla) are all examples of:

• Flavorings

Eggs can serve more than one function in a baked product, pick 2 that are correct about what the egg's function is:
