  1. Thanks for this. I will try it with my 6 year old today.

    Maybe it’s just me but is the salt measurement tbsp or tsp? You listed both abbreviations for other ingredients (tsp and tbsp). The recipe only stats “t.” Thanks

    • Abbie and Mrs. Brown says:

      Oops! So sorry about that! The salt is 1 1/2 teaspoons. Thanks for letting us know – I fixed it so it is consistent now. That’s what happens when I type too fast! — Patti (aka Mrs. Brown)
