Comments & Reviews

I gave this one spoon. It came out very watery after 50 minutes of baking. The amount of flour verse liquid ratio seemed low to me and now back in oven. I was excited since I made my own pumpkin puree for the first time. I did download the Pumpkin Bread recipe and lots of favorable reviews so will do that one this week. Many thanks and will be interested to seeing other’s comments.
