    I made this with tangelos (5x small plus juice of 6th). Just removed seeds and centre pith as recipe states. Also used nuttelex as we are dairy free. Yum! tmrc_emoticons.)

    Great taste - kids all loved them. My maderins were getting past it and the batter looked quite dry so I added a little orange juice and it worked well.

    Was a bit worried with the consistency getting them in the patty pans but they cooked fine and turned out quite yummy!

    Very light & moist. I only put in skin from 2 of the mandarins and used margarine as I didn't have any butter left. Just a nice amount of mandarin flavour

    These were really easy and had lovely consistency but a really bitter after taste. I think I would use less or none of the skin next time - not a hit wi the kids this time round.
