However, in the direction it says not only use the remaining 1/4 cup flour but also add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar so? So do you think you only used the 1/4 cup sugar or 1/2 cup sugar (adding flour amount to sugar amount?) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dixie" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 22, 2009 9:14 AM Subject: Re: [CnD] Egg Nog Cream Pie TNT
now I wonder which I followed, the ingredient list or the direction list. I would think I used the sugar which would make sense for the recipe. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nefertiti Matos Olivares" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 22, 2009 6:22 AM Subject: Re: [CnD] Egg Nog Cream Pie TNT Clarification, please? Nowhere in the list of ingredients for the filling is flour mentioned, yet in the prep portion, “Meanwhile, in a medium bowl whisk together the egg yolks, remaining 1/4 cup of flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar.” Might I be missing something?
