Whipping involves blending ingredients and adding air into a mixture using a wire whisk or a whisk attachment on a mixer machine. When you whip ingredients, you have a purpose in mind. For example, you may whip eggs till they’re stiff. Whisking involves briefly stirring ingredients with light quick motions using a whisk for a lump-free mixture. Beating involves thoroughly combining ingredients using a wooden spoon or food mixer to create light and fluffy baked goods.
