  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ cup whole milk

    Three-layered rice paper dipped in egg batter, cut into two semi-circles and one triangle on parchment paper.
  • Place one semi circle vertically on top of the triangle and the other horizontally at the base of the triangle. It should look a little like a sailboat.
