“Experienced cook/baker. Made this recipe today to the gram using the specified ingredients and the filling ended up a gloopy mess. It was nothing like in the video. I'd be the 3rd person in this comment section to have that happen and it's 100% not a user ” — a cook, 3.0★

“Hi all! I made these yesterday and just wanted to report that I had absolutely no issues with the filling . I used the metric measures and weighed everything to the gram. I even set the water aside at first, but ended up adding it all, in fact a little extra,” — a cook, 5.0★
