I Should Note That It Was About A 110' Degrees That Day So The Icing Kind Of Got Messed Up In Transport. Next Time They'll Look Nicer I'm Sure!

Curious--u mention in your first comment that you use 3 sticks butter. I only see that there is only 1 1/2 sticks in the recipe. Did you leave some ingredients out? Thanks

Thanks Kathi!! boy I don't know about doubling it. I never have!!!
Wendy Rusch if your reading this, have you every done it to make them thicker???Kathi, Wendy use to make them when she had her sweet shop. I suppose you could. just bake them longer perhaps!!? sorry I am not much help. Its worth a try I guess!!! wow, I just had to giggle thinking there would be 6 sticks of butter in those babies if you doubled it!!! hahaha!!! YIKES!!! :)

I'm definitely going to make these. Could you double the recipe if you want them thicker?

When I got to this picture, I thought this was the best looking final product out of all the ones before it. It looks heavenly! The crust looks flaky and not pasty.
Everything looks beyond perfection in all aspects! Each layer is what it is supposed to be flaky, silky then creamy. I am going to make these tomorrow. Thank goodness I have a new real lemon to use.

Has anyone put these into the freezer for drop in guests or, "bad day, need a treat badly!"?
