Definitions:-

To fold: A method of gently mixing ingredients. Usually egg whites or whipped cream are folded into a heavier mixture, for a souffle, cake, or pie filling. The lighter mixture is placed on top of the heavier mixture, then the two are combined by passing a spatula down through the mixture, across the bottom, and up over the top. This process continues until the mixtures are combined. This traps air into bubbles in the product, allowing baked goods to rise.

To mix: To beat or stir food ingredients together until they are combined.

To pour: To transfer a liquid from one container to another.

¹ You can froth the milk by using a cappucino machine steamer, or heat in the microwave and froth with a whisk.

² Maltesers are honeycombed malt biscuit  balls coated in milk chocolate (more biscuit than chocolate). Manufactured by Mars.
