Mixing batter for cakes, pie crusts, and biscuits

Cool the mixing bowl and mixing blade as much as possible by placing them in the refrigerator for a period of time.
Begin mixing the ingredients by setting the dial to position 1. Then beat the ingredients to a light batter at the highest speed (see ‘Recommended speeds’).

Mixing dough for bread, and other fermenting doughs
