Hi Stella, Your blog looks good! For this recipe you are steaming the flour. Why that? I know people sieve the flour after they sieve it. Why do they do that?

Hi Stella
ReplyDeleteNice blog you have.. Why do you steam and sieve the flour? What is it good for? Thanks for your reply. Kind regards, Jenny
Dear Jenny
ReplyDeleteVery important questions you asked me.
Remove any lumps that present in the flour that's caused by moisture.
Remove impurities is greatly reduced.
