Very good and very unique but felt it could use more jam either incorporated or as just added on the side. A nice brunch item.

This is very simple to make although I forgot to cover it when I placed it in the fridge which may account for it not rising, but it's delicious none-the-less. Made exactly as directed. A scrumptious brunch item. Thanks for posting. :)
