Traditional recipe (without cinnamon). I made them with lacto free spread so my son could enjoy them this time but they are equally delecious with butter.

I love to cook but hate to do dishes. Ideal recipes taste delicious, are cooked in one pan and in less than 30 minutes. Although the occassional lengthy recipes for a weekend are lovely too.
