NOTES: For most recipes, it is better to begin
your mixing on a slower speed until the
ingredients begin combining, then move to
the appropriate speed range for the particular
task.
When mixing larger quantities you may need
to increase the Mixmaster speed due to the
amount of mixing required and the larger
load on the machine.
When building up a recipe that requires the
addition of dry ingredients, such as flour,
slow the speed down whilst these ingredients
are being added to avoid a snow storm effect.
Once the extra ingredients begin combining
then slowly increase to the appropriate speed
for the particular mixing task.
Generally there is no one set speed for an
entire recipe. You will need to change the
speed of the Mixmaster depending on what
stage of the recipe you are working on. This
is communicated in the recipe section.

Care and Cleaning
Before cleaning your Sunbeam Mixmaster
Series II, ensure the power is turned off at
the power outlet, then remove the plug.
Note: The Sunbeam Mixmaster Series II and
the base have been factory oiled and no
additional home oiling is necessary.
Wipe over the outside area of the Mixmaster
and base with a dampened cloth and polish
with a soft dry cloth.
Storage
Keep your Sunbeam Mixmaster Series II in
a convenient position on your kitchen bench
ready for use at all times. Place the beaters
and dough hooks into the bowl (storage of
beaters and dough hooks in a drawer with
other kitchen equipment may cause damage).
Wipe any excess food particles from the
power cord.
Wash the mixing bowl, beaters and dough
hooks in warm soapy water and wipe dry.
Give special attention to the nylon button
area on the beater - use a brush if necessary
to remove sticky food particles. The stainless
steel mixing bowl, beaters and dough hooks
may also be placed and washed in the
dishwasher.
Note: Never wind the power cord around the
motor after use as the warmth of the motor
may cause damage to the power cord.
Maintenance Service
Your Sunbeam Mixmaster Series II should
be regularly checked. After approximately
four years of domestic use, the grease in
the gear compartment should be examined
(commercial use after two years). We suggest
at that time you send the Mixmaster to your
nearest Sunbeam Appliance Service Centre to
ensure efficient, correct servicing.

Lets Talk Ingredients
Listed below is a guide regarding some of the
ingredients used in the recipes in this book.
Yeast
A raising agent used in doughs. Yeast is
a microscopic living organism that grows
rapidly in suitable warm, moist conditions.
The yeast plant feeds on sugar and expels
carbon dioxide which expands the gluten
framework. When foaming yeast do not allow
the water temperature to exceed 40°C, as
this will kill the yeast. A 26˚C - 30˚C, draft
free area is most suitable for the growth of
yeast during the rising process. Both Dry
Yeast and fresh Compressed Yeast may be
used in the recipes included in this book.
(NB. 7g of dry yeast is equivalent to 20g of
compressed yeast).
Butter
Butter is made from approximately 80% milk
fat (cream) and is churned over a period of
time to produce a solid (butter). Butter is
used to stabilize, texturize and add flavour.
Butter may be salted or unsalted, it is best to
use unsalted butter for cake baking. Clarified
butter has the milk solids and salt removed,
which is ideal for pastry making as it can be
heated to higher temperatures than regular
butter.
Note: Margarine can be used as a substitute
for butter. It is made from vegetable oils,
therefore it may alter the end result. There
are various types of margarines, some of
these are butter-margarine blends and fat
reduced.
Substitutes
If you find it necessary to substitute
ingredients in a recipe, check the following
alternatives:
1 cup self raising flour = 1 cup plain flour and
2 teaspoons baking powder.
1 cup plain flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder
= ½ cup each of plain and self raising flour.
Sultanas = equal measure of any other dried
fruit.
Golden Syrup = equal measure of treacle or
molasses.
1 cup buttermilk = 1 cup fresh milk and 2
teaspoons vinegar or lemon juice.

Lets Talk Ingredients (continued)
Measuring Ingredients
Raising Agents
Careful and correct measurement of all
ingredients is essential for recipe success.
Australian Standard Metric cup and spoon
measures are used in all recipes in the book.
All cup and spoon measurements should be
level.
Care is essential for best results. Check
for and crush any lumps, particularly in
bicarbonate of soda, before measuring.
Cheese and Breadcrumbs
Pack grated cheese and soft breadcrumbs
into the cup pressing lightly to obtain best
results.
•One metric tablespoon is equal to 20mls.
•One metric teaspoon is equal to 5mls.
Fats and Oils
•One liquid cup measurement is equal to
250mls.
The simplest method to measure butters,
margarines and shorting is to cut or
spoon the required amount from the block
or container and then weigh it using
metric scales.
The following are some hints on measuring
ingredients.
Wet Ingredients
Place the measuring jug on a level surface
and check the measurement at eye level.
Dry ingredients
Use a standard metric measuring cup and
spoon to measure out dry ingredients. After
filling, level off cup or spoon with a knife.
You may like to tap the cup or spoon lightly
on the kitchen benchtop before levelling. If
your dry ingredients has any lumps, be sure
to remove them or break them up, sifting
ingredients prior to mixing will help.

Cookery Tips for Best Results
1. Before starting, read the recipe
completely.
8. Do not over beat. Be careful that you only
mix/blend mixtures until the recommended
time specified in your recipe. Fold in
dry ingredients only until just combined.
Always use the low speed. At any stage of
mixing, over beating can cause toughness,
close texture, lack of rising or excessive
shrinkage. Climatic conditions, seasonal
temperature changes, temperature of
ingredients and their texture variation from
area to area all play a part in the required
mixing time and the results achieved.
2. Refrigerated ingredients, ie butter and
eggs should be at room temperature before
mixing begins. Set these ingredients out
ahead of time.
3. Before starting your recipe preheat oven
to baking temperature recommended in
the recipe.
4. Assemble all ingredients and utensils
near the mixer.
5. To eliminate the possibility of shells or
deteriorated/off eggs in your recipe, break
eggs into a separate container first, then
add to the mixture.
9. All recipes have been kitchen tested, but
should you find it necessary to vary the
ingredients or the size of the tin etc. allow
for a variation in cooking time. Always
test for doneness in baked foods before
removing from the oven or the cooking
appliance.
6. When mixing egg whites, be sure the
bowls and beaters are thoroughly cleaned
and dried. As even the smallest amount of
oil on beaters or bowl may cause the egg
whites not to aerate.
10.During mixing, ingredients may splash
to the sides of the bowl. To scrape the
bowl, turn the speed control dial to the
'O' position and using a spatula, scrape
the bowl. NEVER USE A KNIFE, METAL
SPOON OR FORK, as this may cause
damage to the beaters and bowl. A
light scraping after the addition of each
ingredient assists in achieving efficient
mixing.
7. Always start mixing at slow speeds.
Gradually increase to the recommended
speed as stated in the recipe.

Helpful Hints for a Successful
Dough
Step 1: Preparing the yeast
Safety Tip: Do not use the mixer near the
edge of a bench or table top where it may
fall off.
For the dry yeast to be activated it needs to
ferment. To do this place warm milk, sugar
and the tepid water into a bowl, add dry yeast
and mix. Stand in a warm place until mixture
starts foaming ie bubbles. This process will
take approximately 10 minutes. Be sure not
to overheat the milk. As hot temperatures will
kill and deactivate the yeast.
3. Depending on what recipe you are making,
generally you will need to add manual
kneading to your dough. Place dough onto
a well floured work bench or surface and
knead until dough is smooth and elastic.
This should take approximately 3-5
minutes.
Step 2: Preparing the dough
Note: Ensure dough hooks are in place (refer
to page 4).
4. After kneading place dough into a large
well greased mixing bowl. Place the bowl
in a warm, draft-free area and cover with a
light cloth until the dough doubles in size.
1. Place the dry ingredients into the
Mixmaster bowl and position onto the
turntable. Turn the speed control switch to
speed 1. Begin to gradually add the liquid
ingredients to the bowl.
5. Plunge fist into the centre of the risen
dough to punch out excess air. Fold outer
edges into the centre and turn dough out
onto a lightly floured board for shaping.
Place dough into tins for baking, or cut
and shape dough for making buns, rolls,
etc.
Note: You may find it useful to use a spatula
to scrape the dry ingredients from the sides
of the bowl.
Safety Tip: Do not attempt to feed the dough
into the dough hooks with your hands,
spatula or any other utensil while the mixer is
plugged into a power outlet or in operation.
6. Final rising of dough. Cover the dough
with a light cloth and place in a warm,
draft-free area until doubled in size again.
Glaze and bake.
2. As the ingredients start to form a ball,
scrape down the sides of the bowl if
necessary with a plastic spatula and
remove your dough.

Helpful Hints for a Successful Dough (continued)
Step 3: The finishing touches
To add interest to breads
• Sprinkle loaves or buns with sesame,
poppy, or caraway seeds before baking.
Doughy Tips.
Q. I followed the recipe, however I’m finding
that my mixture is dry and crumbly. Do I
need to add more water?
A. Your mixture may be dry and crumbly for
several reasons. One common problem is
that flour tends to absorb or want more
moisture/liquid, especially on a warm
or humid day. We suggest you add more
water, a drop at a time, until you reach a
smooth ball/dough.
• Top loaves with shredded cheese during
the last few minutes of baking.
• Drizzle sweet tea rings or buns with an
icing sugar when cooled.
Glazes
• May be brushed over the dough at any
time before, during or after baking.
Q. I added too much water and my dough is
very sticky, what can I do?
A. If the dough is smooth without lumps,
then remove the dough from the bowl and
turn it out onto a well floured benchtop.
Knead the dough until you get a smooth
and well formed dough, that is soft to
touch and bounces back when pressed
with the tip of your finger.
Before Baking
• For a shiny crust, brush with cream or
evaporated milk.
• For a glossy crust, brush with beaten egg
white.
After Baking
Q. My yeast did not bubble, why?
• For a matt finish, brush with melted butter
or margarine.
A. The yeast may not be active anymore.
Check the use by date and when not using
yeast be sure to store in the fridge.
Q. My dough did not rise, why?
A. Firstly check the freshness of the yeast.
Otherwise it may need to be placed in a
warmer position. Placing the dough in a
bowl and covering with plastic wrap then
placing in a sink with some warm water
may help.

Helpful Hints for Better Cake
Making
• Always have ingredients at room
temperature. Warm the bowl to be used in
really cold weather.
• Cooking times and temperatures are
meant only as a guide. Light mixtures
should spring back when lightly touched
and heavier cake mixes should be tested
using a wooden skewer. Fruit cakes should
be tested using a small sharp knife. This
should be done towards the end of the
suggested cooking time.
• Add flavouring and essences to the
shortening for a better flavour.
• When creaming butter and sugar beat
until light and creamy.
• Add whole eggs one at a time and beat
until egg is absorbed. Eggs should not be
cold as they can curdle mixtures.
Reasons for Poor Results
Sponge Cakes Shrink
Unbalanced ingredients, overbeating of egg
whites, sudden changes of temperature or
draught when taking from the oven.
• In our recipes we will use self-raising flour
wherever possible. If plain flour is called
for, it must be used to keep the balance of
ingredients correct.
• Divide the flour and the liquid into two
portions and add alternately with the
liquid on speed 1 - don’t over beat.
Cakes Do Not Rise
Mostly due to gross overbeating, but can also
be caused by too hot an oven during the first
part of cooking.
• If you don’t have a tin the same size as
the recipe suggests, here are some tins
that are of similar capacity:
Cakes Sink in the Centre
Too much fat, raising agent, liquid or sugar;
too little flour; under cooking or slow cooking.
Use 2 x 20cm sandwich tins or a 1 x 28
x 18cm lamington tin or a 1 x 20 x 7cm
deep round cake tin or 1 x standard loaf
tin or a 1 x 20cm ring tin.
Cakes Run Over at Edges
Too much batter for size of pan, too cool
an oven, too much sugar, too much raising
agent.
• Care must be taken when using a cake
tin instead of a sandwich tin to lower the
suggested temperature by approximately
25°C and lengthen the cooking time.
Hard Outer Crust
Too much flour, too little sugar, over mixing,
too hot an oven.
• Care should also be taken when
substituting a cake tin for a ring tin, baba
tin or any tin with a funnel as some cake
mixtures that have a very high fat content
may need the heat supplied by way of
the funnel.
Moist, Sticky Outside
Too much sugar, over beating, under baking.
Coarse Crumbly Texture
Overbeating, low baking temperature.
15
Helpful Hints for Better Cake Making (continued)
Heavy, Close Texture
• Triple sift the flours. This will incorporate
as much air as possible into the flours.
Too much fat or sugar, over mixing, under
baking, or too hot an oven.
• Don’t rush the folding in, use either a
large metal spoon or even your clean
hand.
Fruit Sinks
Mixture too soft, damp fruit, too little flour,
ingredients not correctly balanced, over
beating.
Swiss Rolls
• The sponge mixture must be evenly
distributed. A better result will be
achieved if the mixture is poured along
the tin and the tin tilted to allow the
mixture to run to the corners, rather than
spreading the mixture.
Some Hints on Sponge Making
• There are basically two methods of
sponge making. The whole egg method
is the simpler, but better volume can be
achieved if the egg whites are separated
from the yolks.
• While the roll is baking, sprinkle a little
crystal sugar onto the sheet of greaseproof
paper larger than the Swiss roll tin.
Soften the jam to make it easy to spread.
Immediately after the roll comes from the
oven, turn in onto the prepared paper and
quickly spread the jam right out to the
corners. Make the first roll a tight tuck
and use the greaseproof paper to help you
handle the hot sponge.
• If you elect to separate the eggs, whip the
whites until they hold peaks and gradually
add the sugar a little at a time, beating
well between each addition. Start with
tablespoons of sugar and, as the mixture
stiffens, add it more quickly. This process
should take about 3-5 minutes. Only fold
in the egg yolks until they disappear, say
½ minute.
• It is essential the sponge is rolled quickly
and that sponge is not over-cooked or the
roll will crack.
These General Tips apply to either method:
• Eggs should be at room temperature.
• Caster sugar will give a better result as it
dissolves more quickly.
• Bowl and beaters should be clean, dry and
free from any fat.
• The fold speed of the Mixmaster will
supply the gentle but thorough action
necessary to fold in flour. Care should
be taken to mix only until the flour has
just been folded through the egg mixture.
Always commence mixing on speed 1.
