Abstract
To prepare a food product, dehydrated pregelatinized starch and a mixture of hydrated gelatinized starch, fat and water are introduced into an apparatus for mixing and cooling the same to a temperature between -8.degree. C. and -3.degree. C. so that a frozen mixture is obtained from the apparatus, and then the frozen mixture is cut into portions and the portions are frozen. The hydrated gelatinized starch may be prepared by treating a dehydrated pregelatinized starch in admixture with water and fat so that it hydrates and swells, or it may be obtained by heating native/raw starch in admixture with water and fat by heating to hydrate and gelatinize the starch.
