What comes to mind when you think of French cuisine? Lavish food? Cream and butter? Red wine? Pastry? Big price tag? There are many facets...
I made this recipe with one change. I doubled the recipe and used 1 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of barley syrup instead of 1-1/2 cups of brown sugar. This is very good, love the healty aspect of it. Next time I will try a substitute for some of the butter.
