"These were very doughy and not at all sweet enough. Can i anyone suggest a reason why they turned out so bread-like? We were all looking forward to them as well"

"This is now a firm favourite. Ive used it with castor sugar and demerarra and we actually prefer the sweeter castor but each to their own! Really easy to do - it was my first baking attempt!"

"Yum,Yum,Yum... I added some raisins and a nice thick layer of icing, like they have in starbucks, the only difference is that it cost me £1.50 to make 6, rather than the £2 for just one in the coffee shops. yum,yum,yum..."
