Panning refers to the process by which some form of center is coated with another material and mixed to uniformly disburse the coating which is dried or crystallized in place.The centers used in panning and the resulting products have been called by the names dragées, confits or confetti.The predecessors of these modern confections can be traced back to at least 11th century Greece where almonds were coated with honey and dried while being stirred over a fire. There is also evidence that herbal tea formulas in China were thickened, handmade into ball shapes and then tumbled to make the surface smooth and shiny.
