Anything with this much sugar and butter has to be good. It's kind of like a spongey corn cake, and it's very versatile and unbelievably forgiving. In an attempt to make it a little less decadent I subbed honey for half the sugar (therefore didn't melt the butter), and whole wheat flour for half the all-purpose. I used a large cast iron skillet, coated with oil and placed in the "oven" to preheat. Just before pouring off the excess oil, our power went out. So I fired up the gas grill, and baked inside it. It took quite a bit longer but I didn't think to add a thermometer so who know how hot it actually got. After ALL this, it was just excellent. Oily, but marvelous.

I live in a small town in New Hampshire and my yard has a lot of space that allows me to ride my bike there, and go for a walk in the woods down to a river behind my house, and i love to walk over to my friends' house and walk down to our country store, get icecream, and then walk down to our lake. I absolutly love living here and being able to do all that stuff that you might not be able to do in a huge city. I also love to bake but not cook meats since i'm a vegetarian. I also have two cats and a bird.
