Method

  1. Combine everything for the mix and leave it 20 to 30 minutes. Overnight is better.

  2. Wet the frazzelle briefly and let them sit five minutes.

  3. Load and serve.

Notes

Briefly is the whole instruction. A frazzella taken too far goes to paste, and the five minutes afterward is where it finishes softening, not under the tap.
