This tasted really good, but it just didn't turn out...right. I followed the directions to the T and it was wwwaaayyy too thick. Because it was so thick, I only got one adult serving out of this recipe. I would definitely stop cooking the milk and flour mixture once it comes to a boil, rather then let it thicken before everything else is added.
