Stir While You Cook

To ensure everything cooks evenly, stay close to your skillet and stir often.

This is especially important after you add the flour and milk to the pan.

If you dont have a microwave, consider using a steamer basket set over boiling water.

Or, if you like your broccoli crisp, skip this step altogether.

This also helps speed up the cooking process.

Heat oil in a large high-sided ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.

Sprinkle the mixture with flour and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute.
