  • Bake on the middle rack in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes.
    NOTE: Oven times can vary. Please go by doneness and not just by time. Please refer to my pictures for how they should look. They should be firm to the touch, have a crusty top from the sugar and be golden brown in color.
