    Great directions, super easy to make, cook time was way off and it seems to be missing just a little something taste wise. Overall would recommend. - 2/11/21

    A delicious treat. I made this for a Christmas brunch and everyone loved it. More like cake than a main course for breakfast, but nice for special occasions. - 1/1/15
