Paste in a Thermomix

This is the classic 4 to 1 ratio for starch paste.

Add 3 level tablespoons of starch (Silver Star Starch in my case).  The weight is too low to measure accurately on the Thermomix scales.

Add 240ml of water.  If you tare the Thermomix this can be measured by adding 240g of water.

This is for Australian 20ml tablespoons.  For US 15ml tablespoons use 4 level tablespoons.
