Click Create, then Import From URL

If the recipe looks fine, you're done. If it looks like one paragraph of mush, you can fix that.

Click the edit button.

If it seems like nothing is happening, try refreshing the page or navigating away and back.

===== Scroll Down and Edit =====

You can edit any part of the recipe here, but scroll way down past the long-paragraph-recipe to the Bulk Add button. Copy the text from the recipe and click Bulk Add.

Then paste and edit the recipe. You can try the auto-recognize button to see if it can split for you.
