Christine
For someone who is supposed to be on a budget, I’m shocked that you would discard 2 tablespoons of batter. And when you double or triple the recipe? Do you discard in the same ratio? So casually wasteful.
Chris
How wasteful to discard batter or food of any sort during a pandemic and when there are so many people struggling financially just to feed themselves. Use a muffin tin so you can utilize more batter or mini cheesecake dishes instead of fancy ramekins just so you can appeal to millennials and zoomers aesthetic tastes
Nabila
You’re not discarding it.. you’re adding it back when you put the center filling smarty pants…
