Has anyone else made this, mine stuck to the bottom of the pan, and didn't taste all that good. Just wondering where I went wrong.

No, I added everything. The recipe said not to grease, maybe I should have.

I try not to use alfoil when I can, apparently not so good for your health. I use baking paper for all baking including covering pots before putting the lid on when cooking in the oven eg lamb shanks ect. If lining a tray for baking it can burn or cook the slice/ biscuit quicker underneath

Never burnt mine with tin foil ever sorry and a small amount of aluminium is apparantely not bad for your health I did my research use it or not it’s your choice. Oh and it leaves the body quickly in your pooh
