Make a well in the center? What does that mean?!


Question: Make a well in the center!? What does that mean!?
Okay so I am completely confused!. I'm really hungry right now its about 6:13 AM my parents are sleeping so I'm not going to bother waking them up & asking them!.

I have no experience whatsoever in cooking!. So I'm going to make something simple which is of course pancakes!.

Okay so it says

"In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar!. MAKE A WELL in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth!.

Plleeeeeeeeeeeease help me!.

I'm going to sit here hungry until someone answers!.

& when you do help me I'll give you your precious 10 points automatically!.

It just means make a dip in the middle to pour the wet ingredients into, so I usually take my egg and push it (before you crack it this is) into the centre and move it about in a circle to make a dip or well or depression in the middle of the dry ingredients, you don't even have to do it, it just stops the wet stuff sticking to the sides of the bowl before you mix them into the dry ingredients!. easy peasy!Www@FoodAQ@Com

It means that you make it look like a volcano!.
you put a dip in the center with the dry ingredients around it
you are right it is misleading
so make a mound use your spoon or fingers and make a hole in the top center of that mound

Silly, it's not rocket science!. The others are correct!. By making a well, your wet ingredients wont stick to the sides as much!. Mainly in making pasta and breads, but it isn't necessary to do this!. Just have a rubber scraper ready!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it means that you should make a kind of wide hole in the center of the flour with the other dry ingredients and then put the milk , egg and the butter and mix by adding the flour mix gradually !.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It means make a hole in the center with a wall of dry ingredients around the circumference to put the wet ingredients in the middle!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Push aside the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and make a small circle in the middle!. The crack the eggs and pour the butter and milk in the circleWww@FoodAQ@Com

Its just a dip in the middle of the flour, so when you ad the liquid it all mixes together!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
