Cinnamon Buns are so hard to make! :-(

This recipe I'm looking at is calling for electric beater with a certain type of paddle attachment, all the recipes I come across seem to assume everyone has electric beaters. Me, I do everything the old fashioned way, everything's done by hand, and I very rarely touch my beaters (it's a hand electric beater). I even mash my potatoes with a hand potato masher. Anyway, I don't know, let's see what happens, I suppose, I know i'll have to do a lot of improvising. I don't like kitchen gadgets at all, they're too cumbersome an take up a lot of room, and plus my arms are stronger since I do everything all my bread kneading, etc by hand.

I do everything by hand, too! I even have an old fashioned egg beater that I use instead of an electric one, but even then, I sometimes use a whisk. I don't like "mashed" potatoes done in a blender. They're more liked mushed potatoes to me. I also knead everything by hand. I have a good blender and that's about it. Everything else I do with manual tools. Do let us know how the recipe/method works out.

Yes, I'll let y'all know. I don't have the hand beater but I do have a large whisk and a small whisk, I like using them a lot. I use a whisk for any liquid-type batters like cake batters and pancake batters.

Ya, I think they're also called sticky buns, well, they are indeed sticky LOL. I'll try to improvise with this recipe that I got from joyofbaking.com as it calls for using electric beater with paddle attachment, which I'm finding quite strange, I mean how did people make such luscious buns back in the old days, LOL Anyway it'll be a good experience for sure.

That also sounds like a lovely idea, so I'll be looking in to how to make biscuits as well. I know Hubby wanted me to learn how to make biscuits a few years back, I think over five years ago, but I do remember him telling me a few times back then how he loved eating biscuits and wanted me to make them. Perhaps that's an idea I'll keep in the back of my mind once I learn how to make them. I know you can experiment with all kinds of flavours from sweet to savoury, too! And I know my spices and herbs :-)
