I found a recipe for lemon brownies that piqued my interest, so decided to try it gluten & dairy free. No problem till I realized it has no rising agent except eggs. Being a little skeptical, and not liking things to be pancake height, I added some and yum! Then I realized I added too much lemon juice – oops. Hubby & I both like how it turned out though 🙂
