Absolutely delicious!! I made this with two cups of milk instead of three but only because I was going too fast in reading the recipe. My husband and I ate it for lunch with ham. He thinks it would be great with jam or cane syrup. What a treat that would be on a cold morning! Thanks again Barbara for a great recipe. OmaJane
