I wish it could've measured instead of weighed, do you have a receipt for that?

[theauberginechef]

@shortpplrock6786 - Weighing is more accurate than measuring but I understand not everyone owns a scale. I have a conversion spreadsheet on my website that can help.

Makes 24 pieces:

White rice flour - 1 3/4 cup

AP Flour - 1/2 cup

Brown Sugar - 1 cup

Sugar - 1/3 cup

Water - 2 3/4 cup

Evap Milk - 1/2 cup

Annatto Powder - 1/2 tsp - 1 tsp

Reduced Baking Soda - 1 tsp

[theauberginechef]

@Primadonna1027 - I bought the silicone cups from bed bath and beyond. You might be able to find them on amazon too
