I remember these as a child. I loved the creamy, lemony filling with the crisp outsides. I have searched for this recipe for years, only to find it in a a very old recipe book of my mothers, which was stored away with assorted other items, after her death. I am thrilled to have located it and hope you will enjoy these as much as I did. These do take a bit of time to make, but it's worth every bite.
