Cooking time is off. Maybe because I used a glass pan? I baked as directed, but they were still raw, so I lowered the heat to 300 and kept them in there another 20 minutes. The edges then got so crunchy I had to cut that away and serve only the center pieces. They were delicious though.....<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2024-12-12","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"jill3473"},"reviewBody":"
You have to use a metal pan is the trick because glass makes them cook on top and raw on the bottom but if you use metal pan they cook evenly and my mom always made these since I was young and now I'm 45 making them myself and always make a double batch because one batch doesn't go very far or fair lol \ud83d\ude02 <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2017-08-20","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"BlueApple"},"reviewBody":"Great classic recipe! Usually only make a half recipe for a 8x8 glass dish, bake 20 minutes. They will still be soft in the middle. Important to remember to grease dish and let cool completely before cutting.
