Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    A yellow bell pepper makes a sweet stand-in for the red. As an alternative to sautéing a fresh pepper, use 1/2 cup chopped roasted red bell pepper and melt the 1/2 cup margarine before adding it to the batter. Roasted peppers can be purchased in jars or from the deli case (drain well before use).
  • tip 2
    As an alternative to the basil seasoning, mix 1 tablespoon caraway seed into the batter.
