So, I work a few doors down from Lidl and they are clearing out brownie batter at 20p a packet!

OMG... Please have a self checkout, please have a self checkout...... bing, YES THEY DO

I now have (after about 49 discreet visits over a day) 30 packets of brownie batter, very wet undies and an amazing (if lonely) Friday night planned.

But, what is the best way to mix this stuff in a bucket? Don't wanna mess that bit up (just mess me up)

Preferably so it will not ruin my hair if possible! Don't fancy another flour/water incident (yes, I did that).

Never used it, what's the instructions on the packet for mixing it? I guess you add water and stir.

Presumably multiply the amount of water needed for one packet by the number you are using and keep stirring with a big spoon or whatever while you mix it, until it's a nice consistency for messing up

Have fun, get messy!

PS, any thoughts on outfit to mess?

When I've used it before, use warm/hot water which will help break down the powder. Then stir and mix it by clenching it in your fists and crushing it. You'll need to do this for a good few minutes to get rid of all the lumps out of it that will cause problems!

You'll want to start doing that as soon as the water hits the powder. More water = thinner cake batter. It might be worth sacrificing a couple of packets to test out different consistencies!

Happy messing!

Congratulations on securing such an impressive haul from Lidl!

Now, given you've got yourself the amazing bargain brownie batter, I'd suggest heading to the nearest Argos and picking up one of these: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9166134?clickSR=slp:term:electric%20hand%20mixer:1:27:1

That'll ensure you get a fabulous consistency, without wasting any of your precious packets. Treat it as an investment in WAM equipment: you'll be able to use it again and again to create some epic goo for pouring, filling, dunking - whatever your preference.

And yes - it's perfect too for making up a flour/water mix that WON'T ruin your hair (ask me for the recipe )

Yes as sploshandgo said you may need a mixer for this amount of cake batter. Otherwise you will probably have a very sore arm.

Hope it goes well and you may want to add some vegetable oil to help with your hair perhaps?

I've used a tool that is used to mix floor cement. The tool is placed and tightened in a hand drill (cordless or otherwise). The other end has spiral wings that drops into whatever is being mixed ( in your case gloppy brownie batter, sounds awesome). It will mix it up quickly. I've also used milk instead of water oh and don't forget the eggs!

Thanks all

I have a mixer. Will have a go later. Might add a little oil too

I always add cooking oil to it to help prevent any clumping cause those little balls do not come out of the hair if flour based

Just follow the ratios if there are any. Usually boxes of batter include the amount of water and vegetable oil per batch, then you can make it thicker/thinner depending on your preferences... Enjoy!

Remember to lick the beaters!!!

When you mix up cake batter or brownie batter to play in, do you actually use eggs?????

We don't, we just use water.

Warm water, a little oil and whisk = perfect breast coating goo
