Review & Comments
Made this yesterday and tasted very good. Read reviews and did not see any comments on using a smaller size crock. Mine were either 6 or 1 1/2 quarts. I used the smaller and it just fit. Made a well with sifted dry ingredients and added wet into center circling bowl as I went to slowly incorperate the dry. Was a stiff batter to be sure, but worked. Added last three ingredients together and made very hot in microwave, than slowly added to top and 1 1/2 hours later was done. If left longer would have burned and dried. Will keep but suggest everyone who tries watch your crock carefully the first time but don’t open it until ready to test for doneness. Thanks for recipe.
