3.Create a small well in the middle of the mixture where you pour in the milk. Incorporate the mixture with the milk until it becomes moistened dough. Set it aside for at least one minute.

4.Put the dough into a round baking pan. The baking pan should be buttered first before putting the dough. After putting the dough brush it with some cream. You may also add sugar or sprinkles on it if you want to.
