I love to bake using eggs from my own chickens. As a local-food enthusiast, I am currently researching other local sources (beyond my backyard) of essential baking ingredients such as flour, sugar, butter and salt. I was happy to discover Butter Cup Farms butter and creamy milk at the Austin Farmers Market. I encourage folks to seek out and use local cheeses, eggs, spinach and tomatoes in this recipe as well.
