4 Add remaining sauce ingredients & 3 Tbsp. of H20. Stir until dissolved. Pour mixture into sauce &
set pan on High heat. When begins to bubble & thicken, cover & remove from heat.
5 Add 3/4 cup of the flour & stir w/ fork until the flour is blended into mixture. Batter should still be lumpy.
6 Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of flour on top of batter & mix w/ only 1 or 2 strokes. Most of the new flour will still be floating on top. Put the remaining flour into separate bowl.
