Title: Incorporating Flour
Post by: Chelsea (Thermie Groupie) on July 27, 2011, 11:49:04 am

Tip - When incorporating flour (and cocoa) into batters and doughs mix on speed 2 for a couple of seconds before turning the speed dial up and mixing it in properly. This allows the flour to be folded through instead of getting stuck straight away to the sides of the bowl and needing to be scraped down.  I do this with bread, pizza dough, cake batters etc. :)

 ;D also moving the dial slowly means the ingredients don't get pushed onto the lid ;D

Much like when making bread - I mix the dry and wet ingredients together gradually before kneading - saves a lot on cleaning the bowl.

It is such a basic tip, but when I was a newbie I thought I had to turn the dial to the correct speed straight away. I was forever scraping down the bowl and lid.  :)

Thanks. You've saved me some scraping down. :-*
