I want a recipe that somebody can vouche for....I have tried a bunch of online ones and they suck...

do you know if your oven temp is correct? meaning is the inside the temp you set it at?

I'm not sure...how do you check that?

I had one recipe everyone loved. I hadn't made them since we lived in Florida and I use to make them all the time.

I made them the other day and they were like little bricks....

Kaitlin'smom replied: I woudl bet to say your oven temp is off then.

you will need a oven thermometer heat the oven 350 seems to be pretty common once you oven is hot put the thermomert in (they sell ones that clip to the rack) and let it tell you what the temp is really. then once you know that you can adjust accordingly.
