Made these for Thanksgiving and my whole family was blown away. Even my grandma said they were as good as hers! The nutritional yeast adds just the right amount of savory depth.

The tip about warming the milk is crucial! First time I used cold milk and they were gluey. Now they come out perfect every time.
