Flatten out with another sheet on top or with slightly oiled hands. Spread all over the pan. Bake about 18 minutes watching to see it doesnt burn. I pulled mine out and pour maple syrup over the top spread it over and then baked another 12 minutes. remove from heat . Press flat with metal spatula . Cut into squares and leave it flat. Let it cool completely.Lift the squares off and store in container with wax paper layers. U can cut them into bars if you prefer
