    I was going to try to use this recipe but noticed the milk discrepancy also so "Googled" the title... Check out this link -- this recipe was "adapted" - the original had milk in it...

    Sound great! I'll probably use less Earth Balance, since I try to cook without added fats when possible, but this sound delish! - 11/15/10
