Notes from the original
- Substitute some or all of the flour with whole-wheat flour.
- To substantially reduce the fat and cholesterol, substitute the two eggs with three egg whites.
- Substitute the vanilla extract with ½ teaspoon almond extract or 2 teaspoon orange liqueur.
- For a quicker recipe, don't leave the eggs and butter out; instead, soften the butter in the microwave, and do nothing else with the eggs.
