Notes

1) Original recipe called for 1/2 cup sour milk. To make sour milk add 1 tbsp vinegar to milk, then stir in the 1/2 tsp baking soda.so the milk foams or thickens. BUT then do not use the other 1/2 tsp of baking soda, as called for.

2) This recipe can not be doubled. They will not turn out. Each batch has to be mixed separately.
