  • Pour the hot liquid over the flour and stir hard with a sturdy spatula or with a wooden spoon until all the flour is incorporated, 30 to 60 seconds.
  • Add the eggs lightly beaten into an omelet. Mix at medium speed with the paddle attachment on. Scrape down the sides of the bowl when necessary. Mix until the dough is smooth and glossy and the eggs are completely incorporated. The dough should be thick, but should fall slowly and steadily from the leaf when you lift it from the bowl.
