Great recipe, but I had to cook it about 25 minutes to get it to set. 1/4 cup milk to 1/4 cup flour makes for quite a sloppy mixture. Step 3 is worded a little confusingly – mix milk + egg whites in one bowl, flour + ginger in another, and spread + honey in the electric mixer, then alternately add the dry and wet mixtures to the electric mixer.
