Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F\176°C

3. I'm a separate bowl mix wet ingredients: milk, butter, eggs and vanilla
4. Combine wet and dry mixture ensuring dry ingredients are well incorporated. *Do not over mix* Consistency will be thick until water is added
5. Slowly pour hot boiling water and fold with a spatula until water is well absorbed. Texture will change to more runny consistency
6. Pour into pans of your liking. Works well with single sheet tray or split between 2 smaller baking trays. Baking time varies based on tray size: Splitting into 2 smaller trays approx 30-35mins 1 larger sheet tray approx 40-45mins. *Use toothpick method to check if done, should come out dry)
