4 comments Needs water posted by Ian Colley @ 08:38AM, 9/25/07 Hi there, cooked this today and the blend would not mix properly until water was added to the mixture... the egg yolk wasnt enough to bind the whole mixture... tastes amazing too... We used milk posted by Edward @ 11:33AM, 4/06/08 It didn't want to mix very well so we added about 2 more yokes and some milk and a tad bit more butter. Adding some chocolate chips posted by Nicola @ 01:00PM, 6/26/08 I added 50 grams of chocolate chips and then added 4 medium sized splashes of milk and then a little bit more butter and that made them taste REALLY GOOD!!! You should try it. It is a great combination! Needing posted by vicky turner @ 07:39AM, 8/14/08 Needing 2 egg yolks and a little water and same milk to help mix together Heading: Comments: Name:
