This is a bit of a rant but I was wondering if anyone has come across a recipe that tasted horrible despite doing everything correctly. I've just made some lemon biscuits and they taste repulsive. The recipe was 'easy', used common ingredients and a normal biscuit making method.
Basically, cream together butter, sugar, zest of three lemons and slowly add a lightly beaten egg. Sift flour and mix until dough just formed. Put in cling film and chill in fridge. Roll out and cut out biscuits. Chill and bake in oven. You get the idea, pretty simple right?
So why do they taste horrible?! I carefully weighed each ingredient and was extremely careful 'zesting' the lemons. I'm confident I didn't do anything wrong so I'm blaming the recipe.
Argh, so annoyed - I've never met a biscuit I didn't like UNTIL NOW

Is there such thing as a badly written recipe in a cookbook?
