You said it...very simple, very nice! I made the recipe mostly as listed. I added the rind and juice of one lime (the rind to the dry ingredients and the juice to the egg whites before I mixed them in).I put the mixture into my 24-hole mini-muffin pan which it fit perfectly. Beautiful little mini-morsels which my 3 year old loves....this is definitely a keeper! Thanks very much for posting. (I'll post a photo shortly.)

Living in Australia means we get to savour different cuisines and it's so much fun trying new things, only sometimes no-one else wants to try them with me:( I like music, art, singing (much to the chagrin of those around me), hiking, writing and most definitely shopping!
