Wow! This looks tasty. Will have to try this Love the combination of cornflour and sweet ingredients too. When would you normally serve this? It looks like it would be good for breakfast :) Saying bonjour from #creatwithjoy http://detoutcoeurlimousin.blogspot.fr/2015/02/exploring-limousin-february-in-creuse.html
ReplyDeleteHi! Thank you for stopping by. This is usually served in New England for a traditional Saturday night supper with hot dogs and baked beans. But, it would also be great for breakfast! I think it would be good if it were warm with a bit of butter or cream cheese.
