I made this today and was quite pleased with the results. I followed the recipe quite closely but used cooked thickened raspberries in place of lemon curd. I might add, I used the K A instant clear gel thickener and really like it.
I don't know if it is my oven going on the fritz or what, but at 375F mine browned way too quickly and I had to turn the oven down and keep an eye on it. I used the egg wash and pearl sugar and realize it gets brown easily with egg wash, but this was getting close to too dark. Any one else with this issue? Otherwise it rose beautifully and looks and tastes great.
Hi, Sorry to hear of the unexpected quick browning. You may want to double check your oven setting against an in oven thermometer. This might also be related to rack position. Generally when I have a sweet dough, that is egg washed, I bake in the lower 1/3 of the oven. Give it a try. Frank @ KAF.
