METHOD OF

;1. COMBINE ALL IN INGREDIENTS Mixture SHOULD BE VERY MOIST , BUT NOT SOUPY

2. pour INTO A BATTERED 9X12" OR LARGER BAKING DISH AS THIS DOES RISE UP

(BATTERING THE PAN, IS BASICALLY OIL, IN THE PAN AND FLOWER SPREAD ALL OVER THE PAN TO THE SIDES, SO THIS WILL NOT STICK. HOW EVER PARCHMENT PAPER WORKS WELL JUST SPRAY WITH PAM AND THEY COME OFF EASY.
