Dee,This was not for me.After following recipe,it was just too dry to form up.I did add another half cup of butter and it was a bit better.I was able to put into two round pans and patted it down.I appreciate your comments,and mail re this.Did the review so others who may not read your comments on the recipe will be aware.I did want to try as the addition of the rice flour was of interest..Cheers!
