In a large mixing bowl, combine crust ingredients. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon about 30 to 40 seconds or until a soft dough forms. Drop spoonfuls of dough filling to create a cobblestone effect. Place lid over the oven holding the filling with 15 to 17 charcoals on the lid. back for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. remove lid and cover with a kitchen towel and cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving with Cranberry Sauce.


Cranberry Sauce
