Good - so trickle the water slowly into the cornflour etc to make a paste which will become a smooth "sauce" as you add more water

Do you feel like it?
Thought it might make it easier to get all the lumps out. :rolleyes:If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0 -
I wouldn't - you're not trying to get air into it and it doesn't clump like ordinary flour. You might need to beat it quite hard to get the mixture smooth."Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning how to dance in the rain." ~ Vivian Greene0
