knife blade/dough tool  
The knife blade is the most versatile of all the attachments. The  
length of the processing time will determine the texture achieved.  
For coarser textures use the pulse control.  
Use the knife blade for cake and pastry making, chopping raw  
and cooked meat, vegetables, nuts, pate, dips, pureeing soups  
and to also make crumbs from biscuits and bread.  
hints  
G
When making mayonnaise, put all the ingredients, except the oil  
into the liquidiser. Then with the machine running, pour the oil into  
the filler cap and let it run through.  
Thick mixtures, eg pates and dips, may need scraping down. If  
its difficult to process, add more liquid.

Fresh yeast: crumble into the flour  
1 Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4 and grease two  
18cm(7”) shallow cake tins.  
2 Fit the knife blade. Place all the ingredients for the sponge in the  
bowl and process for 5 seconds. Using a spatula, scrape the  
mixture into the centre of the bowl and process for a further 5  
seconds.  
3 Pour the mixture into the prepared tins and bake for 20-25  
minutes or until firm to a light touch and coming away from the  
edges slightly. If you are unsure whether the cake is cooked  
insert a thin skewer in the centre and it should come out clean.  
Turn out onto a wire cooling rack.  
Other types of yeast: follow the manufacturers instructions.  
2 Fit the dough tool or knife blade and add the flour (with fresh  
yeast if used), salt and lard. Process for a few seconds to evenly  
distribute the ingredients.  
3 Then with the motor running quickly pour the liquid in a steady  
stream down the feed tube until the mixture forms an elastic soft  
dough. This will take about 60 - 90 seconds.  
4 Remove the dough, place in a bowl, cover with an oiled piece of  
clingfilm or a plastic bag, and leave in a warm place for 45 - 60  
minutes or until doubled in size.  
5 Re-knead by hand for 2 - 3 minute. Re-kneading in the  
bowl is not recommended as it may cause the  
processor to become unstable. Shape into a loaf or 15  
rolls and place on greased baking trays and leave until double in  
size.  
4 When cool spread the jam and cream over one of the cakes,  
top with the other cake and sprinkle with the sugar.
