Notes

If you don't have dried milk, just use 1 1/3 cups of warm milk instead of the water and the dried milk.

If you don't have three 8 inch cake pans you can use a 8 inch pie plate along with a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. You can also use a two 9 -10 inch cast iron skillets or you can use a combination of various pans.
