Abstract
Dough compositions that are baked to form pastries, biscuits, shortbreads and shortcakes having improved tenderness are disclosed. This benefit is achieved by incorporating into the dough a fat product comprising sucrose fatty acid esters having at least 4 fatty acid ester groups and optionally other fat ingredients. The fat product has a penetration between about 120 mm/10 and about 350 mm/10 at 70.degree. F. (21.degree. C.) and a yield point between about 500 dynes/cm.sup.2 and about 10,000 dynes/cm.sup.2 at 70.degree. F. (21.degree. C.). The dough is made by a process employing a low shear method of mixing.
