My husband and I are in our 50s, so I’m always looking for empty-nester recipes! Also, I don’t know if y’all are still in Texas, but that ice might be heading pretty far down into the state (hill country even), so stay safe and warm!
This is Great! Probably could adapt for Air fryer too. Thanks!
Precisely what I didn't think I needed in my life, but I actually do! 😂. Perfect for my husband and me. TYSM & yes, please do more recipes for 2. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing recipe. This really works for us we are 4 👌🙏✨
Yes, please more for 1 to 2 people and baking goods as those are the hardest to 1/2 the recipe if you know what I mean.

You forgot the raisins
That looks great, especially on a cold day. Thanks for giving substitutions for the half and half, sometimes I think I can't make something because I am missing one ingredient. More 2 people recipes, or some that make good leftovers for lunch the next day.

Just made the recipe, I doubled it. Yum! They came out soft and tasty. 😊😊
Yes, show more for 1-2 people recipes👍
Well, I just made these and mine got huge! Mine grew out of my corning wear by at least an inch. I had to bake them for an extra 10 minutes bc when I tore off the top it was raw dough about half way down. I put them back in the oven.
Wow. That looks wonderful and looks easy. Thanks I will try it. Wish I had some yeast now🤪
More Please… I love the small batch recipes…
I love this! I also love that people are tripling and quadrupling your recipe! 😉
Who taught you how to measure?
Your video doesn’t even match the recipe 🤦🏻♀️
I’d love more recipes for 1-2 people please! 😀
This recipe made it to my Google screen and only came out 1day ago and YouTube didn't even show me but googles looking out ❤
Yes please! I would greatly appreciate some fresh inspiration for small meals for two.
We struggle with lunch recipes for just the two of us. Would love some ideas!
Try maple instead of vanilla.😊
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Oh that looks so delicious for a cold morning like this! I woke up at 4:30 this morning to the sound of sleet hitting my window, 🥶.
Just made these and they exceeded my wildest dreams 😂. Absolutely delicious. They are magical. Disappeared instantly!!
thank you for sharing this recipe. This will work definitely for me and my husband thank you.
I appreciate so much these small recipes. Baking without wheat flour is a challenge in our house. If you have any baking recipes using alternative ingredients to wheat I’d really appreciate and enjoy those videos. 😊
Looks good! Pretty big too.
Yes more please
you read my mind with this small-batch recipe, thank you
My only criticism is please dont wear rings when using hands like this in recipes. No amount of handwashing is goung to thoroughly clean the ring. Rings tend to collect a lot of germs and skin cells. And now thats all in the dough.
I'm definitely going to use this recipe. Thank you
More 1-2 people recipes please!
