You want a firm, yet not sticky ball to form in the mixer, you add flour while the mixer is on low, if you add the right amount, your ball will form, simple! Your basically eying it. Many people like her do not always know exact amounts, they usually just go by texture and feel of the dough.

Can anyone tell me how much flour she used?

I'll agree with perfection. They were awesome. We had previously made some from a food network recipe and they weren't close to being as good as these. Thanks so much! We look forward to trying your other recipes!
