This is good and easy to make. I I followed ingredients per recipe except for the salmon. (DS doesn't like salmon). The sour cream topping seems strange in our syrup and butter world, but turned out to be a good match with a pancake wrapped around a bit of the topping and eaten out of hand. Made for ZWT4.Reply
