Mine didn't turn out well at all or anything like Lisa's. Hers were puffy and shiny. Mine were flat and dry-looking like flat biscuits. I think part of the problem is the amount of bake mix called for. I used 3/4 cup and the batter was much too thick. Probably 1/2 cup would have been better. They also weren't nearly sweet enough. I'd use at least 1/4 cup Splenda. I used half vanilla and half orange extract, but the orange flavor was very weak. Two full teaspoons would have tasted better, I think. I suppose these could be ok with a bit of tweaking, but I probably won't make them again.
MiniCarb bake mix has been discontinued.
