These ingredients may look fine to you, but i'm seeing rather a lot
of non-alpha-numeric characters as quantities of ingredients.
For example, i see
1 [capital pi] cups white flour
[small pi] teaspoon salt
[small pi] cup sugar
[small pi] pound butter
[equal to or less than] cup buttermilk...
I'd like to know what actual amounts were really used in this recipe
AND
make a request to ALL members of this list.
Your fonts may not be the same as my fonts. When writing *fractions*,
please DON'T use a single key character for any fraction. Not all
fonts are mapped the same for non-standard characters. I have fonts
with fractions, but i know from experience that the fractions are not
all mapped to the same key in different fonts.
PLEASE use [numberA][slash][numberB], e.g. 3/4, for fractions so that
we may ALL be able to share in these culinary treasures.
Thanks
