NO-STIR DRY MIXES FOR BROWNIES

摘要

NO-STIR DRY MIXES FOR BROWNIES Disclosed are dry mixes for brownies comprising conventional full formulation dry mixes in a particular physical form referred to as granulated. The present granulated dry mixes can be used to prepare brownies by conventional baking but without requiring such steps as mixing to form a batter or coating the baking container. The granulated dry mixes are essentially characterized by the physical features of 1) particle size, 2) bulk porosity, 3) density, 4) initial rates of moisture absorption, and 5) moisture content. The particle size essentially ranges from about 0.85 to 3 mm. The bulk porosity essentially ranges from about 0.45 to 0.6. The density essentially ranges from about 0.50 to 0.75 g./cc. The rates of initial moisture absorption essentially ranges from about (at 70.degree.F., 21.degree.C.) from about 0.04% to 0.065 gram of water per gram of mix per second. The moisture content is less than about 5%. Conventional agglomeration equipment and techniques employing moisture as the binding agent are useful herein for preparing the granulated mixes of the present invention.
