  1. I was so disappointed- I followed the recipe as written and got a real mess. The butter - flour ratio was incorrect. I salvaged what I had left of the dough to make a base for lemon squares (which didn't turn out too poorly). I googled the recipe this morning and found out that the flour should read 3 1/2 cups. Taste was good so I'd try again using the correct flour amount and rate it then.
