I made these today for breakfast and I wish I could rate them higher but they turned out pretty dry to me. The topping is very good though and like pumpkie, I think I should of put some in the middle of the batter before cooking. Thanks for an easy recipe though! :)

These are delicious and easy. The batter is very thick. I used rum, freshly grated nutmeg and butter. I cannot wait to add these to my christmas brunch. I love the spices on top so I think next time I would put half the batter in and then sprinkle some of the spices on top of that and then add the rest of the batter and put the rest of the spice mixture on top. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.
