But of course! You can make it the way people made things before electric mixers were available: mix it by hand. You'll need a big bowl, a large, sturdy wooden or metal spoon, and a strong arm (yours!).

You might find it hard to believe, but there are some people who prefer to mix or whip stuff by hand. Whipping cream, beating egg whites for meringue, making mayonnaise, mixing batter for cakes -- all those have always been, and always will be, made with nothing but a bowl, something to mix them with, and human power.
