The guide explains how to tie and fold. Do you add butter or not? It is not mentioned. The dough is just rolled and turned and folded.
Hi Hannele! The butter has been left out of the recipe. Thanks for pointing it out!
Is baking powder suitable for replacing white flour in Christmas cakes?
Yes, you can. Our bun flour mix is a good all-purpose flour in addition to our light flour mix. The only difference between the two is that there is no cornflour or buckwheat in the bun mix.
Good and easy to handle dough 🙂
