Fat
Fat is a fundamental component in many dishes and baked goods, serving as a flavour carrier, binder, or for frying. It can be of animal origin (e.g., butter, lard) or plant origin (e.g., oil, margarine). Fat imparts texture, moistness, and a rich flavour note to food.
Fat is used versatilely in both savoury dishes like meatloaf and baked goods such as cakes. It is often combined with salt, onions, and eggs in savoury contexts, but also with sugar and flour in baking. Recipes highlight its role as a fundamental ingredient for texture and flavour.
