Any time you need to know how much batter to put in a pan, just measure cups of water into the pan to get it 2/3 full, then dump out the water.

I've made both, but prefer the Penny's. I use whole milk since I never have whipping cream on hand and my normal all-purpose flour. They come out great, but I do chill while I wait for the oven too, ...

Those are cute, cute, cute! I'm not a figure model person (meaning I can't really do it), so the Dean and Delucca ones are more my speed. I think the price is fine, remember those are marzipan and t ...
