Portakal çiçeği suyu bulamadığım için yerine birkaç damla vanilya kullandım, koku daha sade oldu ama yine de güzeldi. 160 derecede pişirmek tam kıvamını buldu, daha yüksek ısıda denediğimde altı çabuk kararmıştı.
İrmiği elemeden kullandım, tarifte dediği gibi 15 dakika fırınlayınca kenarları güzelce renklendi ama üzeri istediğim gibi bembeyaz kaldı. Kalabalık bir davet için iki katı yaptım, tam 40 tane çıktı.
