Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat oven to 350ยฐF (180ยฐC, Gas Mark 4). |
| 2 | Coat a 9″ or 10″ bread loaf pan with cooking spray or lightly butter and set aside. |

| 6 | Remove from heat (or remove the mixing bowl from the saucepan) and cool for 10 minutes. |
| 7 | Add eggs one at a time, either mixing by hand or using a hand mixer at a slow speed (only blend, do not beat). |
