Why give it a 1 star for a misprint? The directions say milk...so obviously it is a minor misprint. Did you try it? By giving it a 1 star (which I find rude) the overall rating is lowered and now many people might not even bother trying it. The recipe should be rated on it's merits not because you failed to read the directions in order to clarify the typo. I haven't tried it yet, but absolutely will make it prior to rating.
