Wow! Where did I go wrong? The batter was as thin as pancake batter. These never did puff up like the photo. Is this supposed to use self-rising flour or baking soda/powder? In frustration I poured the batter into a pie pan and baked it. It turned out somewhat like a quiche. It does have a wonderful flavor.
