Could be better. The puffs were a bit too dry and the lemon flavor was a bit too subtle. The glaze helped to add some sweetness, but it didn't quite make up for the lack of flavor in the puffs themselves.

Not a fan. The puffs were a bit too dense and the lemon flavor was not to my liking. The glaze was a bit too sweet as well. Overall, not a recipe I would recommend.

Meh. The puffs were okay, but nothing special. The lemon flavor was a bit too subtle and the glaze was a bit too sweet. I wouldn't go out of my way to make these again.

A bit disappointing. The puffs were a bit too dense and the lemon flavor was not as strong as I had hoped. The glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste. Overall, not a recipe I would make again.

Decent, but not great. The puffs were a bit dry and the lemon flavor was a bit too subtle. The glaze helped to add some sweetness, but it didn't quite make up for the lack of flavor in the puffs themselves.

Not as expected. The puffs were a bit too dense for my taste and the lemon flavor was not as prominent as I had hoped. The glaze was a bit too sweet for my liking. Overall, not a favorite recipe.

Loved the tangy lemon flavor! These puffs were a nice change from the usual sweet treats. The glaze added a nice touch of sweetness and helped to balance out the tartness of the lemon. I would definitely make these again.

Lemon-y goodness! These puffs were the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The glaze added a lovely touch of sweetness, while the lemon zest gave them a nice brightness. I enjoyed them both warm and cold.

Easy and delicious! The recipe was very clear and easy to follow, even for a beginner like me. The puffs turned out perfectly and were a hit with my family. I will definitely be making them again.

Scrumptious treat! These lemon yeast puffs were a burst of tangy delight. The glaze gave them a lovely sheen and the texture was incredibly airy and light. I'll definitely be making these again!
