    Very, very, nice. Smile

    I've made this recipe several times now and the most recent I decided to double the ingredients.
    1) Thermi struggled with volume....therefore don't recommend.

    2) Left in fridge overnight to rest, whereby the mixture was quite hard when I wanted to roll & bake. Because of my impatience I popped the dough into the microwave to soften. This changed the texture and rolling was not as smooth.... therefore don't recommend.

    3) Any left over icing, pop into a zip lock bag and freeze for your next delicious batch, keeps well.

    Nice consistency to dough. Quite cinnamon-y... if you like cinnamon this is a nice flavour.
