The dough was way too thick and had to add a ton more milk. Once they were done, they had a very floury taste, I think that perhaps there is a mistake with the recipe, such as too much flour -
These are amazing. I used whole wheat flour with a Tbl of Wheat Gluten for volume. I also didn't have milk around so I subbed with lowfat buttermilk. Fantastic!!!

I was looking for something different to use up a few peaches. This recipe fit the bill perfectly! I did add a bit of nutmeg with the cinnamon and after they were done baking they smelled and tasted so good. Next time I will add some pecans as well (didn't think about that soon enough this time), but I think they will make a great addition.
