"I discovered this recipe and liked how simple it looked (no melting jello or separating eggs). With one bowl, and easy to find and mix ingredients, it was in the oven in no time. As another reviewer wrote, it took much longer than the 25 minutes indicated on the recipe to bake, and the knife never quite came out ""clean"" because of the butter, and creamy quality of the batter. However, it cooled to a wonderful, custard consistency and light, lemon flavor to suit our hot summer. Very appealing to look at, and appetizing to eat."
