Explanation:

Question 88

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Creaming: Mixing fat and sugar, not distributing fat in flour.
• Cutting in: Using a pastry blender to distribute fat (like butter) into flour, which matches the process.
• Whipping: Incorporating air into a substance (e.g., egg whites), not for fat - flour mixing.
• Sautéing: Cooking in a pan with oil, not related to fat - flour mixing.

We analyze the options:

• Gaseous: Describes a state, not a type of agent for rising baked goods.
• Leavening agents: Substances that produce gas to make baked goods rise. Baking powder, baking soda, and egg whites are leavening agents.
• White: A color, not related to the function of rising.
• Powder: A form, not a functional category for rising agents.

Answer:

B. Cutting in
