"This is a great recipe. A teacher of mine used to say "simple engineering is good engineering" ! I would like to add my version. You can replace the sugar with equal volume (not weight) of sweetener. This is great for a "light" version or a diabetic one, without compromising on the flavour. So for one measure of sugar use one measure (i.e. one cup) of sweetener. Replace part of the flour (you may want to experiment with this) with semolina. Add some cinammon and ground gloves. Do not be afraid to add more vanilla or orange juice/extract. An additional Medditeranean flavour is given if you add a bit of ground mastic or mastic flavour. Enjoy !!! Vassilis the Greek !!"
