Like Bergy, I thought these needed a little more zip. I decided to follow Bergy's advice also on the flour. I didn't roll them in it, at all, and they turned out fine. If you like spinach, you'll like these little appies. Thnx for sharing your recipe, Mary. Made for kck's forum. -
Followed recipe and instructions exactly - took 1/2 hour in the oven and still not completely browned. This may partially be my fault as quite a bit of flour clung to the balls so I caution others be light with the flour. For my taste I think they need a bit more zip but I rectified that by serving them with a chili sauce as a dip. Nice combination of ingredients. I am freezing some and will add to this review when I try them Thanks Mary this is a very nice appetizer -
These are SO good!! I followed the directions exactly and they were great!
