Notes

Why do you heat treat the flour?
Heat treating the flour is the only way to make sure flour is safe to eat in no-bake recipes. The FDA states that flour could contain bacteria such as E-Coli and Salmonella. Heating or cooking flour is the only way to ensure the flour is safe to eat. Heat treating flour in the microwave is a quick way to ensure any bacteria that may be present is gone.
