I agree with Chickee that these became a little tough as the cooled, and I think I will use her suggestion of a little fat next time. Other recipes on here include a small amount of butter, so I might try that. But, having said that, they were quick, easy, and really tasty! I made them on the spur of the moment to go with Zanzibari Prawns Recipe #460378 , and they worked well.
