These were pretty good. I used butter instead of margarine, and didn't need any more milk to make the batter stick. A couple of suggestions, though... how big/thick should the rectangle be? I did dropped teaspoonfuls, then flattened them to 1/3'', which seemed to be okay. Also, the icing was REALLY sweet for me (and my sweet tooth isn't intimidated easily). Maybe cut the sugar in half, since the jam already has enough sugar in it? Otherwise, fantastic, and will make again.
