I know this sounds crazy. But it works. They come out soft, puffy, good. But I like to use parchment paper for cooking on.

Wow, this sounds good and easy---something even a non baker like me should be able to even pull off.

Great for gluten free diets too. You would think it would melt to a glob on the baking sheet but it doesn't? You can even leave out the baking soda if you don't have any on hand. It still works but I like the added little puffy, airiness it gives.

Tina--My mom has celiac disease----I will send this recipe to her--thanks so much---

Somewhere, I have a book written by home ec teachers (compiled) and have this recipe in it. As well as a few other gluten free dishes. But I have not been able to find the book lately. But I found that recipe while checking out a recipe site and knew it was the same or close to the one in my book.

I aooreciate the recipe---I did e-mail it to mom----so again I thank you...
