Would make this again.
Would make this again - definitely! Very good, but I agree with with Valeria about using 2 egg whites. These will be a new Christmas tradition! My husband can't keep his hands off of them. five stars

Very good but i think I would maybe use two egg whites for the top part next time, there wasn't really enough to properly spread across the top. I thought it was easier to put the base into the pan with my hands, maybe a little messier but it worked quite effectively. five stars

Very good! ... the dough is a bit sticky to work with when pressing into the greased pan, but the return was worth the effort! five stars

Would make this again.
Excellant recipes that I will definately use again. Everyone that tried them loved them. I made two batches, one as the recipe reads and in the other I added more almond flavoring and less cinnamon to the glaze topping. five stars
