I made these today for the first time. They were easy to make and tasted SO good. I made them to be easy snacks for my children, but I think I've eaten more of them than they did! Fortunately, I put half of them in the freezer for later, so at least I have some left. Mine did not make as many "puffs" as the recipe said it would, but I think I made them too big. It said to drop 1/3 cupfulls, which I did, but I think that was too much. Next time I'll try to make them smaller.

I took some chicken soup to my son & family last week and added these Puffs. What a hit! EVERYONE including two small grands (3 & 5) absolutely loved these. The ultimate compliment came from my husband that these are the best "biscuits" ever! Three generations of our family agree! Try them you won't be disappointed! Ruth Gliko
