Hi I just have one question: do I use 3 cups of flour or 4 cups of flour ? I don´t want to mess up things. Thank you.
Kate says
Hi! You’ll use somewhere between 3 and 4 cups of flour. The reason that it’s given in a range is because it can depend on a number of factors like how you measure the flour and even how humid it is where you live.
I start with 2-1/2 cups of flour and then continue adding flour 2 tablespoons at a time until the dough clears the sides of the bowl. At that point, the dough should still feel a little sticky but shouldn’t come off on your finger if you pinch it.
Hope that helps! If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask!

These are heavenly. They have a consistency of a pretzel or bagel which is exactly what I was looking for. I added a bit of vanilla extract and cinnamon into the dough to infuse it. I also melted the butter with cinnamon and sugar and melted it all together and brushed it about 12 minutes into the baking. I let them bake for another 8 minutes surrounded my the delicious mixture. Thanks for a great recipe. My 8 year old daughter and I found it really easy and amazing.
