  1. This was pretty good. Got up very early and was looking for a breakfast idea and saw the picture of this and decided to try it. I resized the recipe to make 6 servings. I used golden yellow sugar (light brown) to make the syrup. In the dry ingredients, left out the salt, used 3/4 tsp baking soda and 1/4 tsp baking powder for the 6 serving size recipe and used buttermilk for the milk. Used only 1/4 cup of shortening instead of the 3/8 c the resized recipe called for. It worked just fine. This is probably meant for a dessert but it was great for breakfast instead of cereal. Some ate it plain, some poured on milk and some topped it with vanilla yogurt. It was enjoyed by all.
     
  2. This was so delicious served warm with frozen yogurt! The apples reduce & combine with the syrup during the baking process and the end result is similar to apple cobbler. I used just 1 tbsp of sugar in the topping & added a dash of nutmeg. Since the dough was rather sticky & I had trouble making a well, I just placed the mixture on top. As you can see from the photo, it spread out nicely & the sugar crystallized giving great colour to the topping. Thanx for another repeat dessert Kitten!
