- 30 minutes to make
- Serves 6
Adapted from a Pillsbury recipe which appeared in the 1963 "Pillsbury Family Cook Book". Unfortunately it was not repeated in later additions. It is unusual -- a thin, hot sauce is poured over the batter and it bakes to a delicious crisp topping. Read more The freshly grated lemon zest is a critical flavor ingredient! See less
