The recipe instructions are sketchy... Alternately add water while adding dry ingredients... Shame I had no idea how much water to add so my mixture was thick and I couldn't cook the centre properly without having a dry outside. Definitely not trying again! - 20 Jan 2018 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
