Notes

Internet search shows this recipe may originally be from Betty Crocker. The only difference is the Betty Crocker recipe calls for 3/4 cup of milk, not the 1/4 cup on the recipe card. The instructions on the card uses the same verbiage "Measure all ingredients" which I changed to "Combine all ingredients".

1/4 cup of milk may not be enough!
