| Now add the flour mixture into the creamy mixture until all is incorporated. Your mixture will be sticky, but that is ok for now. Divide this dough mixture into 4 parts, because you will just be working with one part at a time.

Add 4 cups of flour and 3 teaspoons of baking powder that have been mixed together. Stir this mixture to the milk mixture until all in incorporated.
Generously flour the surface you will be working on. Make a mound of about 2 cups of flour on the side of your work area. Take one of the parts of dough that you divided and knead it into the flour on your work surface. Keep working in just a little flour at a time as you knead the dough. Don't over do the flour or your dough will become dry and brittle and impossible to work with. It will take you a while to get the feel for the dough, but you will. It should be soft and pliable.

Take one of the sections of dough and put on well floured pastry sheet or counter top. Have a cup or 2 of flour piled to the side of your pastry sheet. This step just takes practice. You knead the dough adding a little flour at a time until the dough has lost its stickiness but NOT dry. You may or may NOT use all the flour you've put out.
