These were easy to make but I did make a few substitutions: Bulgarian buttermilk for milk, currants for raisins, Spectrum Naturals coconut oil for shortening. Fried in a little bit of a combination of butter and oil. Be sure to not form the cakes too thick or they will not cook in the center. I like the subtle flavor of vanilla, too. Thanks for posting! Delicious with a slather of blackberry jam! PS does help to have the ingredients written in order. Are there supposed to be two eggs? Step #3 mentions "eggs" but the ingredients' list shows only one. fyi
