I was going to post my last watercolor attempts… but the duck is still scaring me…….. and she is up next, so I am procrastinating….
So I decided another recipe was in order…. this time something sweet – but not too sweet…
It’s also super quick and easy to make…. I like to mix up batches of the dry ingredients on one day, then pop them in the pantry. That way, on baking day I can just pull out a zippy bag and add it to the melted butter and vanilla… !
Here it is ready to serve… I left it in a little longer than I should have but it was still yummy… and my apologies for the photo – it seems like the only time I have at the moment for blogging is in the evenings. I will take another photo in daylight one day!
