Just enough to brown them, not burn them. butter and salt and garlic and boullion are your friends. don't do too much, if you notice them a lot then it's too much. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┘ --- #3 fediverse/4511 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────────┐ │ CW: food-recipe-requested │ └───────────────────────────┘ does anyone know of a recipe that uses only flour, butter, yeast, eggs, and salt?
