Sisterfunkhaus | 01/23/2020This recipe becomes a 5 when you use butter to fry it in. You can also use honey instead of blackberry preserves. I have also used, "breakfast bread" which has cranberries, honey, and lots of seeds in it. No sides needed.

I'm making this for my family for the second time tonight. It's not healthy, but boy is is delicious! My kids love it. I'm serving it with roasted potatoes on the side.
