Preamble

This is a derivative work, adding only the nutrition data found at the end. The original page, if it is still available, contains illustrations and recipe notes not (yet?) mirrored here, so I recommend checking it out at least once, especially if you intend to make this recipe!

This page was generated from an LWL file generated from a YAML file generated from HTML. The source files and code for most of that process can be found at my grimgrains-yaml project page, with the rest being a function of my wiki engine.
