Comments
are you supposed to peel the fruit? or keep the skin on?
Keep the skin on for this recipe!
Going to try this receipe as it is prepared without flour. I suppose the bi-carbonate soda causes it to rise?
Is that right?
That's correct, the bicarbonate soda is a leavening agent, so the recipe can be prepared without flour. Happy cooking!
