Types and Methods of Quick Breads

Quick breads can be made easily and quickly without kneading as they use baking powder as a leavening agent. Examples include muffins, biscuits, pancakes, and cornbread. The muffin method involves mixing dry ingredients separately from wet ingredients and then combining without over-mixing to create a lumpy batter. Quick loaf breads are prepared similarly while biscuits come in rolled or dropped varieties made using a pastry method of mixing.
