- Put the flour into a deep bowl, add the liquid mixture and use your hands to make a loose dough.
- Enclose the bowl in a plastic shopping bag and keep in a closedcupboard overnight in the Winter and for 4 hours in the Summer.
- Remove plastic cover and make 8 equal dough balls, dip gently into the dry flour and keep them a few inches apart in a tray.
