Easter / Re: Hot Cross Buns - which recipe to use?
« on: March 12, 2011, 06:18:27 am »
I've made 4 separate batches from the EDC receipe. I have found that the mixture can be a little wet so i just sprinkle in some flour whilst its kneading to make the consistency I like.
I have had friends and family ask me to make them to their liking so I have done ones with no peel, ones with sultanas only and, no fruit ones also. Next i would like to try some choc chips thrown in.
Most of the comments from work is that these were the fisrt homemade hot cross buns they have ever had, yet they are so easy to make. Im very impressed and already taking orders for Easter. No excuse for all TM owners not to have fresh hot cross buns for easter!!!

Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Mixing in things for doughs/biscuits
« on: March 12, 2011, 05:37:23 am »
Hi All,

I've only had my Thermo for a month and have had no issues with it, just a bit green with cakes and biscuits. I have trouble with mixing in things such as fruit at the end of my knead for dough, and also choc chips or nuts into my biscuit mixture.
does anyone have any beaut tips I could try.
so far my work around is to knead my fruit in dough mixture, (the recipe states to mix on speed 8 for 20 sec, it takes about 10 sec for thermo to get up to speed due to volume of dough, so i gave up on that instruction). for biscuit work I simply ix for 30 sec on reverse speed 4, they work OK.
Is there something that I should be doing?

Suggestions and Complaints / does anyone use warm water for pizza dough?

Hi All,

In the EDC book, the basic pizza dough doesnt use warm liquid (ie water or milk).
I made two batches llast night, both were good, i used warm liquid though, one with water which rose quiet well, the other with milk which didnt rise as much but once cooked was soooo much softer.
Anyways just a though as for any other bread/dough its all warm in the EDC book. weird?

Introduce Yourself / Hello from Wagga Wagga

Howdy All,

I have had my eye on a thermomix ever since I saw one on master chef and thought I HAVE to have one!!
Mind you its an expensive cocktail maker, thats what I had in my head for why i really wanted it and for the sorbets!
But know the world is my oyster and I am loving it!
The poor thing didnt stop after I had the varoma demo. I made 4 batches of relish thanks to one of the ladies on the forum Sally (sorry I cant recall your user name, but you deserve credit) and also Maggie Beer.
so far i am happy with my thermo, made some beef strog, butter chicken, pumkin soup, coffee to die for, sorbet of various flavours...apple works best without the skin (add some vodka and you have the ultimate slushy), now I just need to experiment with some cakes and biscuits...my specialty.
And thanks to Judy Dawn for the coleslaw. Have a BBQ today for over 50 and it only took 20 minutes to make the coleslaw. It is superb.

Thanks
Nic
