subsitute Can I make it with cottage cheese for someone who’s lactose intolerant? Will it work? Also is there anything I can substitute for the yogurt if I don’t find a parve version in my local grocery?
Cheese is probably not a good idea for someone with LI.
the filling fell into the batter… Hi,
I excitedly tried this recipe. the taste is fabulous, but there was just now way I could make the filling stay on-top of the first layer of batter. It just fell straight in, and then the second layer of batter on-top of the filling also got mushed up. did I perhaps miss anything??? If yes I would love it if you can email me and let me know. My email address is chayagit@Aryeh.com.
thanks loads.
HI Gitty. From looking into the recipe, it doesn’t look like it’s supposed to be distinct layers, but kind of melds together. There is a way to check a box and you will get all responses to this comment.
