YUMMY! These were fairly simple to make. And I had everything right in my kitchen to make them, which is always a big plus! I did use cream instead of skim milk. The crusts were nice and flaky. I took them to a party and everyone loved them. Thanks for sharing your recipe Beach Girl. These are going in my permanent file.
