  What on earth is "OO" flour, who makes it and where do you buy it? Is it supposed to be self raising or plain for this recipe?

  Krystyna it's Italian flour, basically the same as plain flour, I have no idea where to get it from though I've only ever seen it in Italy...

  Krystyna, "00" flour is pastry flour. All purpose flour is "0". I know it's very confusing: I'm Italian and I used to live in England and while there I was always uncertain about which flour I was supposed to use for my italian recipes! :D

  Just made these, the mixture was a lot thicker than I thought it would be. Didn't use lemon zest and used powdered vanilla as I couldn't find any extract in my local supermarket and used 1tsp of baking powder they seem to have turned out yummy though :)
