She had great success with hers after putting the dough in the fridge several hours. <br />"Here's the recipe that came with my iron: 2 eggs, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup butter, softened, 1 tsp cardamom or anise (cardamom is definitely the flavor I remember), 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 scant cup milk. Beat eggs, add sugar, butter and spice. Add flour and milk alternately, beat until smoothe. Heat iron until water dances on it. 1 teaspoon batter in center (I used an actual spoon, not measuring spoon), close iron and gently squeeze five to ten seconds before flipping. Looking for a light golden brown."<br /><br />Going to try it this way!Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-68607793284752819162013-11-20T17:20:04.621-05:002013-11-20T17:20:04.621-05:00Exactly.

I mean, Edna is, well, shall we say slightly older than this fella. Not that she's not a looker. She just doesn't seem the type to go after some young hunk. But Edna, dear, should this strapping young lad capture your heart, go for it babe.

What a delightful party you threw for Edna (it's the hats I'm laughing over-- so festive!) And the kid in the box. LOL. Oh dear, my stomach can't take any more laughter. <br /><br />As to Mr. Strong and Silent type -- I'm thinking he's just shy and a little in awe of Edna's loveliness. Marriage might be on his mind but I'm guessing that Edna is going to make him work for it. <br /><br />So, is Edna going to start writing picture books for children now that she's retired?
