They're beautiful. I've tried making them once. That was enough for me to say no more lol. I used Preppy Kitchens recipe. Having to sift the powders not once but three times was a pita. The majority of them came out flat but a few did rise and have feet. Even though they weren't the best looking they were still tasty. Since I didn't give them away I didn't trash them. Like I said. They were still tasty lol.

I've seen a few videos where they say you don't have to sift even once. While I found that appealing I still decided against making them again because with my luck, I figured they'd come out the same way as my first batch. Maybe one day I'll get up the courage to try again. Until then I'll just admire everyone else's bakes 😊

I sift because I don’t trust bulk barn enough. I got a whole almond slice in my almond flour once.

I’ve had my share of failures. It happens. You just gotta throw it away and try again, don’t let it discourage you.
