Out of this world, Bergy!! This was so easy! I used 1 cup all purpose flour and 1 cup whole-wheat flour, in a lame attempt to make it "healthy" :-) I omitted the melted margarine, because the dough seemed to have enough "grease" on the surface for the filling to stick. I didn't change anything else, besides having to bake for 30 minutes in my really slowwww oven. This will make for fantastic breakfasts the next few days! Thanks!

YUMMY! I made these for breakfast on Sunday morning and we really enjoyed them. I added some brown sugar (maybe a 1/4 cup) and some cinnamon (maybe 2 -3 tsp) to the batter and I enjoyed the extra sweetness. I think next time I make them (which will be next weekend I am sure) I will pop the dough in the fridge for a little while to help firm it up. When I rolled up the dough after adding the filling, it was a bit tough to keep it in a tight roll. Maybe I am just no good at rolling though! :) Overall, A GREAT RECIPE which was thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks so much for a great new Sunday treat.
