Stupid question time...

I did wonder, but i seem to remember reading somewhere that you can over-mix it too!?! So much to learn....... Luckily there's no rush! :8:

Not overmixing per see, but if you've got an ill-suited mixer, ie one that has a too high rpm, or an ill-suited paddle, you can mix too much air into the mix, which is bad, for a number of reasons.

A good way of avoiding lumps is to not add all the water at once. If the mix is "stiffish", the paddle more easily dissolves lumps. If you add half or two thirds of the final amount of water, and then mix to a homogenous consistency, and then add the rest of the water, you'll have minimized the risk of lumps.

Cheers sWe. I've been using the same paddle on my mixer, as i use for the addy. What qualifies as a suitable paddle!?!
