  1. I just tried making this but it turned out all runny. Don’t know what i did wrong??? Followed all the recipe…….

    1. Hey Maureen! Sorry to hear that.I’ve made this a few times to the exact ingredients listed. I suggest baking for longer – the temperature listed is celsius (just FYI). You can add a little less boiling water – say 1 cup, and see how you go. x
