These lemon shorties are a bit dry. I think I would add a little bit of milk to the batter next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts in the recipe with chopped pecans. They turned out great!

The lemon shorties didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I think I overmixed the batter.

These lemon shorties are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I added a little bit of lemon zest to the batter, which really enhanced the lemon flavor.

These lemon shorties are a great way to use up leftover egg whites.
