One piece of info. On the recipe card Dad typed for me years ago, it says I egg, though no place in the mixing instructions does it say when to add it. So Mom and I thought that either Dad forgot to put it in, (on his card which he's had for like - ever, it doesn't have the mix in part either - we looked) or, it doesn't go in. The egg just sits on the counter for company and wishes it was in the batter.
