Re: what does it mean to "fold in" in a recipe?

It means that you put whatever you are "folding in" into the bowl on top of what's already there, and then gently, with a spoon or a rubber spatula thingy, you mix the ingredients together.......and this is the key.....by scooping under the added ingredient and over. Under and over, gently.

Enjoy!
