Two co-workers who also subscribe to Taste of Home helped me convince the owners of The Old Tavern, Gary and Ralph Haskins, to give out the recipe. It has been a secret for nearly 200 years.—Laura Lagasse, Unionville, Ohio

A little bland to our liking. Will add sugar or honey to the batter next time. Very nice and light, not greasy at all.

Reviewed on Apr. 10, 2009 by JudyGardner

You can also try injecting them with honey. We think they are great as is, but we are not big on salt in our house.

Reviewed on Jan. 27, 2009 by Dougetta

first glace I thought the batter was too thin, but they turned out great- we had with syrup and everyone enjoyed.

Reviewed on Jan. 16, 2009 by keverwann

I didn't like it with the sugar or the syrup. Needs salt, but I don't know how much for a full recipe; we added some to later batches.

I live just down the street from where this recipe came from.. a favorite dish... however, the restaurant has since closed and I am very happy that they gave this recipe to Taste Of Home
