TM 5

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Tip

Please feel free to adjust the sugar content.

Use any neutral oil you prefer. I have made it with melted coconut oil and worked out well. I have also made it with melted butter - but it did not turn out as nice as oil.

This can be made using wheat plain flour.

If you do change the filling, for example you used your favorite jam - please leave a comment and let me know what you thought of it!

This recipe is suitable for the TM31
