Reviews
It’s a very good recipe. The lemon isn’t very strong, but easily corrected to suit your taste, if applicable. It’s a great recipe to use if you want to add your own flavors other than lemon.
I was not impressed with this recipe. I took advice from the previous reviewer and doubled the sugar and added lemon juice to the mix. They still were definitely lacking flavor. Maybe 3 times the sugar and double the lemon if you dare to make them.
These are good anytime but they are an extra special dish for Brunches.
These were really good with a little doctoring. They needed a bit more sugar, so I doubled the sugar. They didn’t have a real strong lemon flavor, so I made a lemon glaze of powdered sugar, cream, and lemon juice. The final product was amazing. If I make them again, I’ll probably add a little lemon juice to the actual dough since I like a strong lemon flavor.
