I was in a hurry to get it in the oven and done in time for supper, and I didn't read it right. I nonchalantly threw in four eggs, the sugar and the oil and beat it up before I noticed that it was only the whites that I needed... All I did to bail myself out of this was to add another 1/4 cup milk and about 1 1/4 cup flour and carried on with dignity.. 8-} It turned out okay.. took a bit longer to cook, but the kids said it was really good.** So... make sure you read the recipe ALL the way through before throwing stuff in the bowl... 8-}
