Has anyone tried this recipe?
Yes I made it. I sub tapioca flour for rice flour. The only other comment is I would cook it at 330, the 350 turned then a little brown. Task good.
Thank you! I wanted to make them for my mother’s birthday, and now I know that they’ll probably trun out okay, and I appreciate the edit you suggested.
