It's the way my mom taught me. After mixing all the dry ingredients, add
stock at bit at a time, mixing with your hands till you get the
consistency you like, tasting it as you go for the right amount of stock
and seasoning. Put in a pan, top with a few pats of butter, cover in
foil then bake at 350 degrees. I've never really timed this (as it
varies on the amount in the pan) but I remove the foil during the last
15-20 minutes of baking.
Works for me!
