I tried this recipe, but they came out very heavy and didn't rise at all. I then realized that there was no baking powder or soda in the recipe. Could someone who can pm mtdebster ask her if the recipe is correct, or make a suggestion as to how I screwed up

Ronlu,
This was a recipe that was converted by the LA chef off of the LA at home website. I copied it right off of the post. I haven't made these, so I really can't help you out on the recipe, sorry. I don't have access to the website anymore or I would question the LA chef. Maybe you can PM mamanicole or put a shout out to anybody that has access to the website and see if they can locate the original post and ask the person that had the recipe converted. I wish I could be of more help, sorry.

Thanks for all your help Deb. I will do as you suggested. Ron
