• 4. NOTE: Mix by hand - do not use electric mixer Add eggs, 1 tablespoon oil and 1 cup milk. Mix by hand until all ingredients are moist, then add the other cup of milk and mix gently until batter is well mixed. Add more milk if needed so that batter is fluid but not runny Do not overmix or bread will not rise
