Used different ingredients. Very good -- the only thing I would suggest is the importance of a bit of vanilla (1/2 tsp) to give great flavour - 21 Jul 2008
Something else. Possibly the easiest recipe I have found for these. They turned out great. I baked mine a little longer on insulated baking trays, to get a drier biscuit for tiramisu. These would be great in a lot of layered desserts. - 21 Jul 2008
Very nice and light -- excellent for tiramisu. With these make sure you watch the bottoms for burning. They also tend to spread a bit so don't crowd them. - 21 Jul 2008
