Never attempt to make these unless you have lots of time and are willing to put up with a mess.  Yes, Alton Brown made it look sooooo easy on that talking picture box.

I, having a small kitchen (hence the name of this blog), was covered in flour and all sorts of goopy goodness.  As expected though (I think) they turned out looking just like on TV!  Faaaaaaantastic!  Yum.  Really.  Yum.  A little pickling salt on top and time to eat away!  Next time I won't use THREE WHOLE LEEKS!  I was worried I wouldn't have enough, and also had to use them up.
