The recipe I use is fairly easy to work with but I haven't gotten the spices quite right yet.
I'm making some today and if the recipe comes out right I'll post it on. I usually cut mine into little rectangles because in my family we also eat them on bread. Seriously they're really good that way.
The recipe you posted is very different from the traditional one. Traditionally it has baking powder and no sour cream. Have you had the real ones? the ones you can buy in boxes?
