    These turned out so yummy. I was stumped with the instructions in a couple places though. It didn't say whether (or when) to add the 2 T. yogurt mentioned in the ingredient list. I hesitated but in the end tossed it in. Seemed to work. Also it didn't mention whether to oil the skillet or cook them in a dry skillet. So I tried both. The dry skillet method took longer to brown and didn't present the expected bubbles (although my son liked these better). The lightly oiled skillet browned them nicely and yielded the tiny little bubbles to show when they were cooked the right amount (I liked these better). So I'm not sure which way it was supposed to be but, in the end, either method worked. They were awesome with the Easy Crockpot Morrocan Chicken, Chickpea, and Apricot Tangine - Recipe #137530 (by French Tart).
