  • “I’ve just taken these out of the oven and if they taste anything like they smell, then I can’t wait to bite into them!I increased each ingredient by half as I was using a 9X13 pan, however, I used two full eggs.I baked for 40 minutes.The top seems a bit dark compared to the picture above, but I’m sure it won’t affect the taste.I’ll include other comments later after I’ve tasted them.”
