I think they mean from the 2 cups sugar and 2 cups flour.. take out 1 cup from that mix.

This recipe is not written very well. It's bound to be a disaster. Just reading " take out 1 cup of sugar and flour for later use" tells you there's an error. Take it out of where, and how much flour??

Has anyone tried this recipe? It was a disaster for me. It never cooked through. I am going to give it one more try. The only thing I can figure is i must have over mixed? What is the texture supposed to be like when it is poured into the pan?
