Tested

"I'm not entirely sure what I did wrong with this recipe, other than to sub out the vanilla extract for the scrapings of a vanilla pod, which shouldn't have affected it too drastically. Upon adding the flour to the wet mix I ended up with something the consistency of concrete, surrounded by a pool of molten butter! No amount of beating could reconcile the two. I mixed in the whisked egg whites as best I could, stuck it in the oven and hoped for the best. The cooked result was a disgusting mix of rock hard biscuit and fried egg! Even the dog wouldn't eat it! I've rated it 3 stars, as I'm sure at least some of the disaster was my fault but still, bit disappointed with this one"
