well.. I'm surprised it has lasted through the drying process without being attacked and eaten raw.. I was prepared to rate it last night before it got into the oven, the marinade itself smells heavenly. I did not have italian dressing mix, only an italian seasoning grinder mix which was amazing in it too. Super, super recipe, if this rating had 10 stars I'd give it 11!

I guess I can't use expletives... so I'll just say that these are the best pancakes ever, and I didn't even have buttermilk! I just added about 2tbls lemon juice to the buttermilk "milk" portion of the recipe. It got rave reviews from my daughters friend spending the night, and she is pretty picky! yum!

Made this the other day, and just finished the leftovers reheated in the oven.. which are just as excellent as they were two days ago. I read alot of the reviews, and followed the recipe to a "tee" with one exception. I didn't have french bread, just plain jane wal-mart white, which I left the crusts on and doubled for the 1" thick slices. I left all the eggs in and whipped them well with the half and half, which I believe now is critical for the texture of this recipe; as is letting it sit in the fridge overnight for it to appropriately soak the bread. If it is baked correctly and not overdone, the texture AND TASTE mimics the fluffy jiggly nature of real creme brulee. WONDERFUL RECIPE!!
