  • Patent number: 8147893
    Abstract: In various embodiments of the present invention, a bakable batter mixed using cold process conditions and provided in a pressurized can, can be used to bake a variety of food products. In various embodiments of the present invention, a bakable batter mixed under inert atmosphere conditions and provided in a pressurized can, can be used to bake waffles and pancakes. Carbon dioxide is combined with a water-mixed dry batter recipe under pressure at reduced temperature to give a refrigerator stable batter mix. The carbon dioxide reduces the viscosity of the batter to allow the batter to be dispensed for the life time of the product. The carbon dioxide aerates the food product giving light and fluffy baked products. The carbon dioxide acts as a browning agent while the food product is baking to give a brownish appearance, crunchy texture and attractive taste to the food product.

  • Publication number: 20110280997
    Abstract: An unpasteurized pancake and waffle batter is provided in a pressurized dispenser and can be used to bake a variety of food products. In embodiments of the present invention, raw ingredients including flour, sugar and egg are mixed with water in a cold process to create a batter having a water activity of approximately 0.96. The batter is sealed in a dispenser and pressurized with a gas such as carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide reduces the viscosity of the batter to allow the batter to be dispensed for the life time of the product. The carbon dioxide aerates the food product giving light and fluffy baked products and also serves as a browning agent.
