Have ready a large saucepan containing 8cm (3 inch) of boiling water and a mixing bowl which fits over the pan without touching the water.
2
Break the eggs into the bowl, add sugar and whisk together over the boiling water until the mixture thickens and is lukewarm. Take great care not to overheat the mixture.
3
Remove the bowl and whisk until the mixture is very thick and leaves a trail when beaters are removed. Add the flour, or mixed flour and salt, using a metal spoon. Lightly cut and fold into the mixture. Do this thoroughly but lightly so the air is not expelled.
using the whisking method...you can make Swiss rolls, flan cases, bases for gateaux and sponge cakes. This method usually creates light and fluffy cakes xx much love xx
whisking is to just make it finer or more liquidy. beating is to make it thicker.
To fix split cream, you can try whisking it vigorously to bring it back together. If that doesn't work, you could try adding a small amount of fresh cream and continue whisking. If those methods fail, using an immersion blender may help emulsify the cream back together.
Whisking method is when you whisk fat and eggs together and incorporate air until it is thick and foamy
Baking and cooking
Mechanical methods for raising mixtures include whisking, beating, and folding. Whisking incorporates air into the mixture, helping to create volume and lightness, while beating vigorously mixes ingredients thoroughly and can also introduce air. Folding gently combines lighter ingredients, such as whipped cream or egg whites, into heavier mixtures without deflating them. These techniques are essential in baking to achieve the desired texture and rise in products like cakes and soufflés.
From my experience, I've seen that each bakers have their own individual whisking style and prefer to do it their way. The way I do it is that I tilt the bowl the tiniest bit towards me first. Make sure that it's only tilted a little-if you tilt it too much, the cake batter will start to spill out of the bowl. Once tilted, use a metal whisk to first blend in all of the dry materials. Once every single one of the ingredients has been blended in, hold the whisk with your right hand and make small, circular motions from the top to the bottom of the bowl. Start at the top of the bowl by making a small circle in the batter with your whisk, and continue down. The first time around, go slowly, to make sure all of the ingredients are blended in and that you are comfortable with this style of whisking. If all goes well the first time, continue the circular pattern a little faster the next time to smooth out any bumps in the batter. Once your batter is absolutely smooth and ready to bake, you're done whisking! This is my personal whisking method, but for other methods, I would suggest you look it up on baking websites.

A bowl, a whisk, a cake mix and an arm
There's the rue based method - melt butter, add flour and stir quickly to achieve a paste. Cook for a few minutes, then gradually add milk, whisking out any lumps. Season. There's the "all-in-one" method, where milk, flour, butter and seasoning are added to the pan at the same time. Heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens. Not sure what the third method is - packet mix maybe?
The whisking method incorporates air into mixtures, resulting in light and fluffy textures, which is essential for recipes like meringues and soufflés. It can enhance the volume of batters and emulsify ingredients, leading to better structure and consistency. Additionally, whisking can improve the overall flavor distribution by thoroughly blending ingredients, making it a fundamental technique in both baking and cooking.
Whisking egg whites is a physical change, not a chemical change. Whisking simply incorporates air into the egg whites, changing their texture and volume without altering their chemical composition.
