Notes

  • Make a boozy version of this by adding a splash of Baileys or rum to the milk mixture.
  • You could serve this for dessert instead of breakfast/brunch and put some vanilla ice cream on top.
  • Take these to the next level and add a drizzle of orange icing on top.
  • Add some crunch with a sprinkle of crushed pecans.
