Just made them. They didn't look even close to as good as yours, but they tasted delicious! Even my dad, who doesn't like sweets, thought they were good. Nice job!

[MichaelsTestKitchen]

great! thanks for making them!

[dvanrenselaar]

the instructions say baking soda, but the images show baking powder. which is it?

[MichaelsTestKitchen]

Sorry it is actually baking soda. The baking soda needs to go with the Cream of Tartar to react.

thanks,

Michael
