Tip

My Mum used to make these and all the family devoured them eagerly - they have such a 'melt in the mouth' sensation with a wonderful surprise of lemon butter or jam with that first bite. Mum used to often just top with a butter cake mixture - so give that a try too. Icing is not necessary but I think they look so pretty with some icing.
