From children to elders, everyone likes to
eat biscuits.
Tea and Biscuit is a combination that reigns
in the heart of every Indian.
Apart from this, it is such a snack that has
been made according to the needs of everyone.
As per the choice of children, biscuits of
every flavour are available in the market from chocolate to strawberry.
Also you get sugar-free biscuits for diabetic
patients.
But have you noticed something while eating
them?
There are holes on them.
While eating them, you must have felt that these holes are made to give the design. However, apart from this, the holes made on the biscuits have scientific reason.
These holes
are called dockers, the main reason for making them is to prevent the biscuits
from rising too much which increases their size. Manufacturers first spread flour, sugar, and salt on a
sheet-like tray which is then placed under a machine before the baking process.
This machine then makes holes as desired in the dough.
On the other hand, if these holes are not made in the biscuit,
then some air gets filled in them which swells them during heating in
the oven. This makes the size of the biscuit bigger.
Apart from this, a scientific reason for
making holes is also to take out the heat
present in them. That is, if there are no
holes, then the heat of the biscuit will
not be able to come out and they will
start breaking from the middle.
