Note:  Yasmeen Ibrahim Good evening. Sorry I am not very fluent in Afrikaans but from what I understand you have a problem with dough. It is not a hard and fast rule to stick to that amount of flour. Differs with the types of cups you may be using to measure or even weather conditions. If the dough is to moist add flour and if it is dry you can add more buttermilk. Easy don’t give up
