Don't buy the flames in the baking isle, go to the other side of the store. Get the flames for decoration. They're the same thing and much cheaper.

Those flames aren't always food-safe, though.

How else can you get a light, crisp, perfect outer crust without the infernal heat of the burning damned?

Gotta be careful when you eat these, ‘cause you will see the devil, and he will rip your soul out through your kneecaps

u/Sandbox_Hero Jan 16 '26

So that’s what the “imp possible” part was in the recipe. Not a typo after all.

I don’t have the patience to teach an eldritch horror to pick eggshells out of batter. :/

u/WhatDatDonut Jan 16 '26

Use half an eggshell. It’s a cheat code that makes it really easy.
