Best to blend plain flour carefully with soft butter to make a sort of thick paste. Then add a bit at a time and mix well.

Thanks but didnt need it in the end and ate my tea already

Bubbs, if you are making sweet and sour sauce are you sure it needs thickening? Just I never thicken mine.



Funny, you would think it would work the other way round ..........

My ma used to thicken everything with plain flour, she mixed it with water in a cup then added it very very slowly.

Depending what you are thickening, but smash can also be used to thicken things.

With the exception of a couple of cards and presents still to wrap, I'm done :j

I've had a few "moments" this week so to get to this point is an amazing feeling

My local co-op doesn't close until 9pm so we will pop up about 8 to see if there's anything useful reduced to our kind of price

I'm sat in the sofa with quite possibly the best vodka I've had for a long time. I've blimmin well deserved it :rotfl:
