Very good!And they look impressive too. My husband loved them and my 2 year old ate it!! I doubled the recipe but it actually made 13 rolls/strudels. I also did not use as much thyme as the recipe called for. I used 2 tsp instead of 3 when doubling it. I also used half and half because I had some I needed to use up. That made it rich and a bit heavier. It was good but next time I'll stick to the recipe and use my skim milk. Total time from beginning to end was 1 hour. They take a while to assemble but not bad. Also I only baked them for 10 minutes instead of 15.
