      Recipe is created for
      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.

It took so long trying to get right that by the time I finally got somewhere there was so much mess and the kids had totally lost patience . Never again . Just sticking to the resize from the cream of Tatar container feom

    Beautiful playdough. Comes out very soft but with more flour during colour additives, it firms up. You can add the colour during the water cook if you only want one colour.
