I love brittle and I love to make it. When it says to pour out and spread quickly, it means very quickly. It sets up very fast. Traditionally your pour it out onto a buttered slab and pull it with forks to get it thinner and "brittle". it takes practice to pour it out and stretch it out. So, if it is thick, it will still be good.
