I made a few changes- but this is an AWESOME base! I added a dash of clove and nutmeg to the mix and instead of raisins (which I think are icky) I used dried cranberries. I also substituted the shortening for butter that was slightly melted and stuck the batter in the fridge for 20 minutes before baking. They turned out FANTASTIC! So cakey and delicious! My husband ate 4 off of the cooling rack as I was putting the next round into the oven!

These are a staple on taco night. My husband refers to them as crack burritos. They're seriously addicting and heat well for lunch the next day. We add a lot of cheese to ours inside the burrito and on the outside and it's great with some hot sauce.

I made a half batch of this, and it will be a regular around these parts now because it's delicious! I used this as a base- I changed a lot in this recipe- the biggest was the lack of crust. I used a sheet of puffed pastry and draped it into a 10 inch cast iron skillet which turned out beautifully! For the onions I caramelized them in the same skillet I would be making the lentils in with some white wine, salt and black pepper; I'm very glad I did because it gave the onions more flavor and cooked though out nicely. I added some corn to it, used canned tomatoes, instead of italian seasoning, I used parsley, oregano, thyme and some sage, which was very inviting and delicious. I placed the onions into a separate bowl once caramelized and then cooked my lentils in chicken stock adding water when needed, added broccoli, and poured that into the onion bowl with the rest of the veggies. I shredded some aged white cheddar and some le gruyere for the cheese and it was marvelous! The half batch fed my husband and I for dinner and now we have just enough for breakfast in the morning. It all fits nicely in the 10 in skillet... I'm going to make this again, and keep experimenting with it as I go. Good base, but as others have said, it sounds a little bland alone.
