#5 in directions is confusing. Does that mean in a separate pan sprinkle flour over all of hte spices or sprinkle it over the sauteed vegetables? Also, when should the cayenne be added?

Sorry it confused you, yes sprinkle the flower over the sauteed vegetables. Add the cayenne when you are seasoning to taste. Enjoy!
