I must try these. I have fond memories of lemon touched Filoses growing up. But for only one person I'll have to really cut the recipe down.

Eddy
They are really good Shirley.

I’m confused first set directions is to beat the wet ingredients in a bowl. Then it says KNEAD AGAIN ??? Then slowely add flower and keep kneading until it’s fully incorporated ?? Sounds like it show say BEAT again and not KNEAD ?

Eddy
Thank you Paulo, I have updated the recipe.
