I would love to make these for Christmas gift baskets I will be making for family. However the recipe is a bit confusing, The instructions say to add the milk but the milk is not listed in the Ingredients section of the recipe. How much milk please??
Milisa
Hi Lynn,
I have updated the recipe card. It is 2 tablespoons of milk. Thanks for letting me know that was missing.
