5 cups of flour? is that right?
I want to try this, but the flour amount seems more correct for making dumplings than jsut coating the shanks.
Has anyone tried it?
Hey, the flour is for coating the shanks.
is this amount of flour really nesessary

Hi, I’m confused about the measurement for tomato paste. What is a Shake of paste?
Hi, I have fixed it now, thanks for letting me know.
Hi. Could I use extra beef stock instead of the red wine?
Thank you 😊
Yep absolutely!
What is a “shake of tomato paste”? Is it table spoons?
Hi, I have fixed it now, thanks for letting me know.
