Directions
(I would cut back on that a bit) Cool the mixture to 105-115 degrees and add to dry ingredients. I suspect the exact ingredients don't really matter all that much. As long as the flour-to-liquid proportions are such as to make a dough of good consistency, the result will probably be highly edible.
