This was very easy, but kind of messy to make. Mine came out wonderfully!!! They tast like a cross between an omlett and a fluffy pancake. They really don't need syrup although when I first saw the recipe I thought they might. This is a lot more food than I expected too, so have more than two people to enjoy it with.
