add water little by little until the batter reaches to a proper consistency.i.e the batter should be neither too runny nor too hard.
leave it for 1 to hours.or overnight in extremely cold weather(in the oven with just the light ON).
later mix the batter for once and add a little water to adjust the consistency.
