These were fantastic! Made to take on a ski trip and half were eaten on the drive up!!! I baked the crust for only 15 minutes and it turned out perfect!

Excellent recipe, so easy! I used a little extra lemon juice - just used all the juice I got from the lemon used for the zest. They were gobbled up so fast I hardly got any myself! (next I want to try this recipe using a Lime!)
