dolloping
Adding soft lumps
Dolloping is dropping or spooning soft substances in shapeless masses.
A dollop is a blob of something semi-solid—whipped cream, mashed potatoes, sour cream—applied without precision: She was dolloping cream onto the pie.
The word suggests casual, generous portions rather than measured amounts.
