1/3 tsp salt
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried thyme leaves
½ tsp dried rosemary leaves

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

3. In a small pan, heat milk, water, and margarine until very warm (125-130°F)
4. Stir moist ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir in egg beaters and remaining ½ cup of flour to make a stiff batter.
