   So get cracking with your eggs, pun intended and beat them up.   

  

       yeah whip them nice and good, below you can see the pau has been man handled. But it isn’t good enough it needs to be broken down into smaller pieces which we will get to in a bit. I actually wanted a picture of the pao but my mother’s way faster than me.          

Our mug of milk, remember its 2.5 cups not just one cup.
