Notes

Be watchful for the sugar syrup consistency for flawless result.
Don't forget to grease pan,spatula and cutting knife.
If we beat too stiff then pouring and setting will be too difficult.
Rolling each portion with flour is needed after cutting.
Instead of vanilla essence any flavouring you can add according to your wish.
Serrated knife was very useful for me in cutting.
