Now, what was I saying about the mixing?
Yes. It's an odd combination. It goes from powder and very separate to a slow aggregation of large lumps in centre and very small droplets of dry dough balls on the outside, even stirring around the edge specifically to combine.
But as you keep at it - particularly with some cross-bowl mixing - you see it start to become more of an aggregate, and then it _very quickly and suddenly_ jells together into a heavy, thick combined dough. The transition is startlingly quick once it starts.
