We liked them but not as I thought we would be. Something is missing maybe. Maybe lemon zest would be a great addition. Thanks Redsie :)

These end up with a nice lemon flavor but not quite as strong as I expected. The glaze is a must but does make them sticky. I used a little extra sugar and buttermilk in place of lowfat milk. Everyone at my work loved these!

These were very nice. Good bright lemon flavor. I really liked the glaze on this.
