Mmmmm... Sounds yummy. I might try it with butter, though. Would that be a bad thing?
Please try it and let me know how they turn out. If it works and they taste good, then it's only a good thing!
You'll be eating more saturated fat rather than (possibly) the trans fat in your margarine, but I'm not sure whether that's a bad thing.
I may be misguided on this one, but Peahen logic says that butter as a more pure and natural food than processed margarine. It also comes wrapped in paper rather than a plastic tub, which is a plus for me too!!
Will do. Have a busy weekend ahead, but I'll give it a try soon.
