Science Buddies: Project Ideas: Perfecting Pastries: Role of Fats

In this cooking and food science fair project the student will investigate the effect that fat and its temperature have on the taste and texture of pastry shells. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction, followed by a section on terms, concepts, and questions, bibliography, list of materials and equipment, experimental procedure, suggestions on how to vary the experiment, plus a focus on the sort of careers this experiment might relate to.
