Notes
- This dish is usually served hot as a breakfast accompanied by some cheese. I’ve served mine with a dollop of sour cream to cut back on its sweetness a notch.
- The original recipe uses 2 cups of sugar which I've found too sweet for our liking, so I cut back on it to only 1 cup.
- You can use vegan butter or oil for a vegan version.
- Some people use half water and half milk for more richness.
