Description:

As of this writing, I've never used this recipe. These are a specialty of Lee-Anne's, and while she's made these successfully in her parents house, she had a bit of difficulty with them in ours. This was until we found out that our oven is about 50 degrees hotter than it says it is. After correcting for this, they came out as intended.

The recipe says it makes eight, but there are clearly more, I think about double. So she must have cut them into smaller wedges.
