Nice recipe, very simple, but can someone please tell me what it means to “gently fold in the flour” or to “fold in the milk mixture”? I’m from Croatia, and we don’t have such terms here. Is “gently folding” simply “slowly mixing the flour with the remainder” or something else?

Thanks

Gently fold = lagano umiješati (kako se ne bi uništio snijeg od bjelanjaka)
