“I am a novice baker, so these were a little tricky for me. I doubled it, and there is so much flour in the dough already that it made it tricky to work with. Maybe it needs some moisture or to melt the butter? I finally got it to cooperate. With the filling, I would prefer to use beaters to get the lumps out that the flour creates. Overall, this is a good recipe, but if you are making the thicker crust, you don't need 6 lemons to get 2 tbsp. of zest. 1 lemon gives about a tablespoon. This is a good, tart treat, I just feel that it could have been easier.”
