Reviews
Ingredients called for lemon zest AND lemon peel. Turns out zest was called for twice but never the peel. Also, when baking the filling, I wasn't sure if I was to use the same temperature. Oh well, it's cooling now so we'll see how it comes out.
Excellent taste and structure. I changed the recipe slightly, though. For the bottom I used 1 cup of oat flour and 1/2cup all purpose flour. In the filling, sugar half of the amount.One of the desserts that will not stay for the next day.
Made them for a community event and they were gone in a flash, several people admitted to eating more than one.
I difinatly recommand this recipe!
