This recipe was a hit! I subbed cream cheese for the sour cream and tried the frozen blueberry trick that another reviewer did. It was fabulous! The dough was difficult to "pour" into the pan-- there was nothing liquid-y about it. So I pressed the dough into the 9x13 pan. Wonderful breakfast or snack! For a high-end treat I'm going to drizzle it with a powdered sugar glaze next time.
