So I tried this recipe and it was a flop for me. It took more like 40 minutes for the middle to bake. And then it was very crumbly. I’m new at this GF stuff so maybe I did something wrong. Tastes good, but it didn’t look very nice.
Hi Monique,
Sorry to hear that! Did you check the center with a toothpick after 20 minutes and it wasn’t clean? Or did it just look like it wasn’t done at that time? This was a recipe from one of our magazine writers, so I can’t say for certain what the issue might have been (we made them here at the office to photograph for the magazine, but it’s been a few years). If you can give me more details, maybe I can help you troubleshoot it or I can contact the writer and see what she says.
Thanks!
xo,
Carol
