Notes from the card

The card says so in as many words. Ten minutes, just until set — they finish on the hot sheet during that one minute of cooling.

Two tablespoons of powder into one tablespoon of water, then beaten in with the egg and vanilla. Added dry it stays gritty.

Both are on the ingredient list but the method never says when they go in. After the dry mixture is the natural place.
