Hi n2inpink.

I didn't use a machine for this.

I just use a hand whisk and a spatula to do the job. Very easy.

Hi Lucy,

The dough extremely sticky. Have coated with flour but still cannot handle the dough. Use the doughnut cutter, all stick and cannot disloge. Can you teach me how to tackle this problem? Thanks very much, Wendy

Aunty Yochana said...

Yes Wendy,

the dough is extremely sticky, add in some flour to knead slightly. Dust the table top with flour and use your palms to flatten the dough to about 1/2 inch thick then dip the cutter into flour and cut out the dough. Lift it with a spatula and place into the hot oil and deep-fry. Needs light handling over here.

Hi qinqin

Buttermilk is the liquid that was left over after churning butter. It has no acidic flavour and it's excellent flavour and consistency is good for baked food.
