Now that I’ve got the buttermilk powder, I’ll have to give these a try too.
Awesome
Loved these! My son even asked where I bought them from
Got confused about the salt in the chicken nugget recipe; it is listed twice. I just used 1 tsp & all was good. Is there another ingredient that should have been listed instead of the 2nd salt?
We are so loving these!
