Notes
- They are very soft and tender when they first come out from the oven which means that they are capable of falling apart. Allow them to cool completely on a cooling rack so that they can firm up. They will still taste unbelievably delicious.
- Any type of lemon juice other than natural, freshly-squeezed lemon juice from an actual lemon shouldn't be used in this recipe. It should never be artificial.
