Turn heat down or off. But keep it warm as that will make this next step easier..
Stir in the flour one cup at a time until mixed. This may take a while and your arm may get tired, but push through or bring a friend to help. Be sure to use a strong wooden spoon..
Roll out the mixture into long 1/2 inch diameter rolls and place on cookie sheets to cool in a cool room or refrigerator. At least a couple hours or overnight until they are firm..
Cut the rolls into little circles. About 3/8ths inch thick or so..
