Too FlouryFebruary 04, 2008By everybodyisinit
"Hi There, I liked how simple this recipe is but I used a large egg, unlike the other reviewer, and the dough still turned out far too floury. It just doesn't make sense how one egg, 2 sticks of butter, and one tablespoon vanilla could counteract 3 cups flour. This recipe needs some tinkering (maybe cream of tartar?) and I'd like it, but as is, it's way too floury."
