Haha @catweasel, you are so funny :):)
I hope @enchantedspirit took note of your comments! I'm sure her tortillas are great, that's something I still have to attempt. As for the sherry in the mixture, it's just an excuse so the chef can have a glass or two ;);)
But seriously, a tot of brandy also adds a little zing to the mixture, it's good in waffle mix as well as crumpets.
Thank you for the chuckle!
