12 mins confidence: 
leave velvet textured Explanation: I can´t find any reference to this technique under a range of famous chefs, so I suspect that this is simply what "good old Delia" refers to as mixing the ingredients until they are "velvet textured" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 48 mins (2006-11-29 12:20:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In response to that definition, then I would translate it as just that!! - |
