Very yummy! They are definitely "involved" as my MIL says, but worth it. I used apple juice since I didn't have cider around and it was still very tasty;however if you have both I think the cider would definitely be the better choice. Mine were really thick, but sooo fluffy (From beating the egg whites, I think!) My family really enjoyed them. Thanks for a great recipe!
