  I added one egg because the mixture was too dry to form into dough. It's such a simple and easy recipe.

  I added a lot of Cinnamon and messed it up a little - but they have turned out well.. They look more like scones now. But they smell really good!! Word if warning make them very small... Mine are huge!!

  It was a great easy recipe, although I would agree that the mixture was a little dry, however I added coconut and white chocolate they taste fantastic!
