Erich,
I am pretty sure the recipe below came from someone on the list earlier this
year but I have lost source. Point being I do not claim its an original
recipe but can report that it works well. I can also report that no one
ever died and nearly everyone I have served these to loved 'em. On the heat
issue, I substituted a pair of medium sized Red Savinas for the scotch
bonnets and infused for the 12 minutes on the last batch and that was what
my spouse refers to as "on the edge of what I'll let you serve someone we
like" and she is a very good sport. Frankly, if you want at least moderate
heat I'd use Habs or double up on the scotch bonnets and let them infuse for
the full time allotted. I also had success using cupcake paper cups in lieu
of greasing the pan it reduce the necessary butter required.
