I'll use the full cup again next time. More flavor- less volume.

I had read your mention of it fried while mine was in the oven. From
the first bite, I've been planning on a fried piece tomorrow for
breakfast. The crunchy edge of mine is almost caramel.

I'm leaving this uncovered tonight to firm up a bit-- then it is
butter and the griddle for it.

I'll go with a salad for lunch and call it even on the healthiness.
