Very confusing for someone not in the bakery business. Example, when I read the ingredients versus the directions: Check #9, spread butter 4 x 6 plus 1 1/2-inches thick?? In the topping recipe, it never says what to do with the 1 1/2 TBS flour and granulated sugar. I could figured it out as I am a professional pastry chef, but someone that does not bake for a living, could possibly use a little correction here. Other than that, it's a good little recipe.
