    Incredible!
    I made this recipe for the first time this morning and it turned out beautifully! I replaced 3 cups of the flour with whole wheat and used a drinking glass to cut rather than muffin rings (I didn't have those!). They were extra tasty with a spoonful of blackberry jam! Thanks so much! - 7/24/10
