These were quite good. I used white wheat flour and fat free sour cream as it is all I keep in the house. These were fluffy and had just enough cheese flavor without tasting oily. We had them with soup. The adults thought they were a little bland but the kids devoured them and continued to enjoy them cold in their lunches. Thanks for posting.
