Ingredients:
2 cups water

3 1/4 cups flour (sifted)

If you haven't guessed already with the butter, heavy cream, and 10 eggs, this is a rich recipe, and eating it on a regular basis will make you un-healthy in no time. I have it probably 4 times a year or so. The recipe as is says it serves 6 people. I tried to serve 7 college kids with it (including myself) with a pound of bacon to accompany it, and it wasn't quite enough.
Kitchen utensils required: Big bowl, measuring stuff, mixer or whisk, several medium-large pans that are ok to put INSIDE the oven (cast-iron would be best, but many pot/pan sets have handles that are heat-resistant to a point). A baking dish of a decent size should work ok too.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. If you're using cookware that can't take that kind of heat, get it as hot as your pans can take...just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
