Wow, these could be addicting. A few of the directions were unclear, but I did what I thought sounded best and I am now in heaven. Salt is listed twice for the crust. I used about a tsp of salt and a half a tsp of baking powder. Also, the topping has "syrup" - I assumed this was maple syrup but later realized it could be corn syrup. I used pure maple syrup. I used vanilla since that is what the recipe calls for, but I wonder how almond extract would work...Also, it says to watch closely during at about 12 to 15 minutes of cooking, but it doesn't say what to watch for. I waited until it was just about firm. I give the end result five stars!

I live in Carrot River Sk (yes the town is called carrot river) I am a full time mom of three children my son Kaleb who is four, my two daughter's Asia and Vienna- three and two in that order., and our most recent edition a 99'9% siamese kitten named Sander( my son's choice of name). I also work part time. I love looking after my flowers (which i have LOTS of) cross stitching and most outdoor activities i also do some painting and i enjoy baking or cooking.
I also love working out both cardio and weights(surprisingly i don't get enough exercise chasing my three children around). I'am getting more into the cooking now b/c of having three very big eaters, besides my husband.
