This came out just like I remember from School!! 😁😁
AMAZING! JUST LIKE AT SCHOOL!
I know a lot of people are saying that it comes out crumbly, but that o my seems to be (to me at least) when you don’t press it down enough.
It’s super easy and tastes amazing, I can’t stop making it. I just throw everything into a bowl, mix well, press it FIRMLY into a pan and stick it in the oven. I only cook it for 15 minutes at 180 so it’s a little softer (as that’s how I like it) but I haven’t had any issues with it at all. When pressing it down, I’ve found that I literally press as hard as I can, firm arm, body weight, all that. It comes out great!
