    Is vanilla essence vanilla extract?

    I assume so? Thin strong vanilla syrup type stuff? Not that it matters much, not a vital ingredient.

    These have a slightly tart taste that results from using the whole orange, but in a good way!

    130 calories each and yummy! (***ETA!! I am SO sorry, have just re-weighed my flour and I screwed up the weights. This brings them to 130 calories each, not 117!! Sorry!!! **)

    So sorry, please see above calorie correction due to some fool using a database entry and not weighing her flour. You'd think I'd know better right? ;)
    Anyway, all weighed and corrected now. Thank goodness it only added 13 calories!!!

    No, but I think this entirely comes down to the size of your orange. Mine was HUGE.
    LOL! Water will have worked right? Hope they tasted good :)
