This is a very confusing recipe. Who ever place this mess in here please fix it before putting online something that is not clear. The instructions are very weak and for a first timer it needs to be a little bit more accurate. I wouild not recommend this to a first timer like myself.

VERY CONFUSING RECIPE, I WOULD FIX THIS BEFORE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO COOK WITHOUT ALL THE INSTRUTIONS BEING COMPLETE AND ACCURATE.
