Abstract
A coated foodstuff is made using two starch components. One is a spray cooked agglomerated waxy corn starch as having a peak time to hydration viscosity of between about 5.5 and about 7.5 minutes. The snack has unique expansion and hardness properties compared to coatings made from other corn starches, in embodiments the snack has a coating that expands to between about 1.7 and about 2.6 mm, a hardness of between about 3000 and about 3750 grams, or a hardness-to-expansion ratio of about 1200:1 to about 2200:1 g/mm.
