Recipe: Measurement Amounts for Pasta Express CTC Measuring Cup

Hi Diana,

I apologize for any confusion. I got out my CTC cup and measured it:

1 CTC cup = 1 3/4 cups flour (stir the flour up first and lightly spoon into your measuring cup)

Liquid measurement lines in CTC cup:

2 EGGS PLUS WATER = 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (not all recipes in the manual use eggs, but all do use 2 teaspoons of oil which would be included as part of the liquid. For recipes using an egg or eggs, put the oil and egg(s) in the measuring cup then add water to total 3/4 cup)

ALL WATER = 2/3 cup

ALL EGGS = 1 cup

You may still need to make adjustments when mixing the dough to get the right consistency. Once you get used to the consistency that you need you can use other pasta recipes (that stay within the ingredient amounts) so you aren't limited to the ones in the manual.

Here is info from the manual:

PROPER:
When dough is in crumble shape (size of peas). To check. press together a small amount between fingers. When whiteness of dough begins to disappear, It Is ready.

TOO DRY:
If the mixture consists of white granules it is too dry. Add one tablespoon of water and remix for 1 minute. Check and repeat if still too dry.

TOO WET:
If dough sticks to your fingers, or clusters around
mixing blades, It Is too wet. Add several heaping tablespoons of dry flour, remlx for 2 to 3 minutes, and
check. Repeat if stlll too wet.

Happy Cooking!
