Imagine this:
"homemade donuts" recipe (from thirdage.com)
INGREDIENTS:
2 3/4 cup Flour
3/4 cup milk
1 yeast packet
_______________Mix these ingredients first.
6 egg yolks
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 stick unsalted butter
(Use unsalted, otherwise the donuts can end up being to salty)
1 vanilla bean
1 Tblsp vanilla
______________Mix these ingredients next.
ADD both mixtures together, and let rise in a bowl for 2 hours.
If the dough seems sticky flour the dough a little and pat it down. Let it rise again slightly for about 1/2 hour. Spoon out a round ball,about 2 tablespoons of dough and place in Canola oil that is heated at 360'.Cook for 10 minutes
Now imagine, that instead of putting 2 3/4 cup flour you put 6 cups and that instead of 3/4 cup milk you put 1/8 cup milk...
What happens ??? You sure don't end up with nice homemade donuts but some kind of sticky mixture...
That's the same for
SCJP, if you don't give all correct answers to one question, you don't get any credit...
