Yes, add it when you are folding the ingredients together. I'm looking forward to hearing how they go.

Well they worked great, rose and got little feet and then when I rotated them they went FLAT! NOOOOOO!!!!

Wish I could post a pic, but it's not letting me add any attachments!

They had a perfect crispy dome and were lovely and chewey and quite hollow in the centre. I'm not quite sure what went wrong??

They were a bit big, quite big actually, so maybe they got too heavy? They also seemed to take too long to cook, so I turned the temp up from 120ish to 135ish... Maybe that did it???

Definitely trying them again, they were so much easier than I thought they'd be... The piping SUCKED though, so I might buy one of those syringe pipers.

****** If anyone can tell me how to post pics from my phone that would be fabulous!!!!

Oh Sarah you must have been so disappointed when they went flat. Congratulations on getting the foot etc.
Sorry I can't help you with phone pictures, I use photobucket or my ipad.
