SC - RE Isinglass

Interesting. That description of sticking to everything but itself is
pretty much what happened when I tried the wafer recipe out of the
same book. It stuck to the different sides of the oiled wafer iron
much better than it did to itself. I wonder if there is a connection.
But the flours are different. I'll have to check this sometime. I
had much better luck with the other wafer recipes I tried.
