To help determine a mixing procedure, your
own observations and experience will be
needed. Watch the batter or dough and mix
only until it has the desired appearance
described in your recipe, such as "smooth and
creamy." Use the "Speed Control Guide" to
help determine proper mixing speeds.
Adding Ingredients
The standard procedure to follow when mixing
most batters, especially cake and cookie
batters, is to add:
1/3 dry ingredients
1/2 liquid ingredients
1/3 dry ingredients
1/2 liquid ingredients
1/3 dry ingredients
blended. Then gradually increase to desired
Use Stir Speed until ingredients have been
speed.
Always add ingredients as close to side of
bowl as possible, not directly into moving
beater. The Pouring Shield can be used to
simplify adding ingredients.

Mixing and Kneading Yeast Dough

1. Place all dry ingredients including yeast into
bowl, except last 250 mL to 500 mL flour.
2. Attach bowl and dough hook. Lock Tilt Head
down or raise Bowl Lift Handle to up
position. Turn to Speed 2 and mix about
15 seconds or until ingredients
are combined.
3. Continuing on Speed 2, gradually add liquid
ingredients to flour mixture, about 30 seconds
to 1 minute. Mix 1 minute longer.
Mixer.
NOTE: If ingredients in very bottom of bowl
are not thoroughly mixed, the beater is not far
enough into the bowl. See "Beater to Bowl
Clearance."
Cake Mixes
When preparing packaged cake mixes, use
Speed 4 for medium speed and Speed 6 for
high speed. For best results, mix for the time
stated on the package directions.
Adding Nuts, Raisins
or Candied Fruits
Solid materials should be folded in the last
few sections of mixing on Stir Speed. The
batter should be thick enough to keep the
fruits and nuts from sinking to the bottom of
the pan during baking. Sticky fruits should be
dusted with flour for better distribution in the
batter.
Liquid Mixture
Mixtures containing large amounts of liquid
ingredients should be mixed at lower speeds
to avoid splashing. Increase speed only after
mixture has thickened.
NOTE: If liquid ingredients are added too
quickly, they will form a pool around the
dough hook and slow down mixing process.
4. Continuing on speed 2, gently tap
remaining flour around sides of bowl,
125 mL at a time, as needed. Mix until
dough clings to hook and cleans sides
of bowl, about 2 minutes.
