You know the sadness that takes over you in the line at Starbucks as you look at all the pastries in the case knowing you can’t eat any of it…. That feeling must be why I’m always trying recipes for things I see in that case at Starbucks.  Or in this case those little bags by the register at Starbucks.

I have to admit I was intimidated by this recipe.  The resting and refrigerating make me think this recipe is too fussy to make, but it is pretty easy.

I do find it is best to let the eggs come to room temperature.  And I melt the Earth Balance in the microwave and let it sit until it is room temp.

 

The batter is really thick.  But there are so few ingredients I like to hand stir this recipe instead of use my mixer.

 

 

 

I use a small disher to fill the  molds, and usually have enough to make two pans worth.

 

I hope these will make it easier to stand in line at Starbucks. Enjoy! -SB
