      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    These are so easy to make and are amazing! I've made these numerous times for entertaining or just ourselves. My husband can't get enough of them. I freeze some balls raw then cook them from frozen when needed. So good!!!

  • Even tastier than store

    Submitted by Mz_incognito on 29. May 2016 - 19:38.

    Even tastier than store bought. I was lazy and used a spoon to put them on a tray, as the dough was very sticky to work with.

    I made these tonight.  I used a pipping bag to give them shape then I put them into the freezer for about 5 minutes to hardened them up and then I rounded them a bit more they came out great really pleased with them.  Next time I will halve the parmesan and replace it with mozarella cheese.

    Hi I made them tonight I put them into a pipping bag and did them that way then I put them in the freezer for 5 minutes, they hardened up thats when I rounded them, hope that helps.  Also I might half the parmesan and put in mozarella cheese instead.

  • I made these the other day,

    Submitted by Marshallfamily on 2. January 2016 - 15:05.

    I made these the other day, they tasted amazing however my mixture was very runny and hard to form into balls. I ended up spooning the mixture on the baking paper, they cooked fine but didn't rise very much. I followed the recipe exact, is there something I can do to improve?  I did mix twice as suggested but it didn't change anything, it was runny after the 1st mix..thanks for any suggestions

    I just tried to make these and whilst they taste nice, they did not rise more than 1mm! Followed the recipe exactly but the dough was quite runny.
