However, it didn't come out as I had imagined it...my problem was too..." See more little batter.

I would u..." See morese more sauce...but the batter really needs to be thinner to work out right. It was tasty, but I think I will have to keep looking because it was pretty hard to work with. Great taste though! Doubling the recipe did not work :( Took forever to cook!"
