      I have made this many times, but do not add the butter to the mixture. It is a hit every time I serve it, everyone stands around it until it is finished. Thank you for the recipe!

      Will make again, but will add less butter, there was too much “floating” on top

      Thanks so much for this recipe! Made it for our Canadian Friendsgiving party, and it was a big hit! Both kids and adults loved it! You didn't mention a baking temperature--I chose 350, and it worked out well. Thanks again! -Kate
