What each ingredient does
- Gluten flour
- Its gluten proteins form a stretchy network that gives the mousse its body and structure.
The step that matters
Adding the cold water gradually. Adding the cold water slowly while mixing lets each part of the gluten flour absorb water evenly, which helps prevent dry lumps that would not hydrate later in the cooking.
