You may thought that in somewhere, somehow your recipe might have gone wrong. It's not. The dough is just very sticky right from the start to the end before frying it in the hot oil. <br />Thank you.<br />B.BUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783082297020652230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-5863983736818740722014-01-19T20:59:44.933-05:002014-01-19T20:59:44.933-05:00Ken, I've not done that before so I can't ...Ken, I've not done that before so I can't advise you on that. But if you really need to do that, you might want to put the dough in the fridge. Take it out at least an hour before you shape it. Good luck trying. Do let me know on the outcome of it :)ICook4Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405825862798280769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-39351465025539804492014-01-19T20:05:56.542-05:002014-01-19T20:05:56.542-05:00i am planning to do this overnight, can i mix a an...i am planning to do this overnight, can i mix a and B together and let it sit for at least 12 hours?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043957.post-87617834134243255662013-12-11T05:45:34.844-05:002013-12-11T05:45:34.844-05:00Hi there! i didn't use the mixer hook, follow ...Hi there! i didn't use the mixer hook, follow your idea of following the recipe.
