Has anyone made these recipes? How did they turnout?
No good. Take too long to fix. Placed an order on 12-03-22 and still no order. Talked to customer service and they said it was still in the warehouse. No Christmas gift for us.
Martha Stewart made some beautiful “Popovers” & served them up with homemade raspberry preserves…they looked lovely.
Thanks for sending these recipes. Merry Christmas to all
