your dough looked a lot softer than mine. did you add some liquid other then the eggs? I also noticed some lemon peel?

Thanks for the recipe

@burnabytom my mom likes to add lemon to everything, if u like just add it... maybe it depends on the size of the eggs... it gets softer in the "kitchen maschine"... did u use "normal" butter or sth like margarine?

[rstephensonable]

wow - now to locate some almond flour - that looks heavenly!

[DeliriumReal]

@rstephensonable it tastes soooo good and so rich!

Thanks for the comment. It may also hve been the temperature of the butter. I hope you had a great Christmas and will have a wonderful 2011. I'm adding your recipe to my list for next year.
