First, I will say, the flavor is outstanding. But they rose over the sides of the pan (I used the exact pan size called for) and then fell flat in the middle. All ingredients were room temp. Batter was rather thick and needed to be spread out. They didn't turn out pretty enough to use as a Christmas gift. Does anyone have any suggestions? I want these to work.
