The flavor of this was on the sweet side, but OK. What really threw us was the "pancake" part which was more of a really firm custard than a pancake. Overall, just not what we expected. May try again with more flour to create a bit of a cakier topping.

Recipe #259671 is what I used for the filling. It has cinnamon and other flavors so I skipped the cinnamon called for in this recipe. I had leftover buttermilk that I used for the milk. The pancake was very tender. Thanks!
