I tried making this recipe a few weeks ago, and they turned out great! Will defiantly make these again! My name is Rowan Watson, I am a 12 year old live aboard girl in Tofino, who's recently found an interest in food. I have started up a new blog and have made a link to your recipe. If you would like to check it out, my sight name is: thefloatingfoodfanatic.blogspot.com. I very much enjoyed this recipe, thanks again!

I modified these a bit...well actually, a lot. I was looking for a base for filled scrolls. I used cream cheese and pesto as a filling. The actual scrolls were beautiful. Light and fluffy and exactly what I was looking for. Next time I am going to make them with the sun dried tomato and feta.<br/>Thanks for sharing. :)
