- Add the flour gradually : Add the flour gradually in the magimix while constantly stirring with a spatula to incorporate it well and avoid the formation of lumps.

- Season sparingly : Add salt, pepper, and possibly other spices or herbs sparingly, tasting regularly to adjust the seasoning according to your preferences.
