Made this.. The first try the dough was so dry would not come together at all..
Tried again and added 1 more egg.. Turned out great.
I am glad that you gave it another try and it turned out great for you. It is really difficult to give exact measurements for the amount of flour, liquid and eggs as it depends on so many factors, that is why I show in the video how the batter should look.
