They should taste mostly of butter (freshness & quality are important). Add a little extra sugar salt if you think they're bland, or try European style (like Kerrygold), which is cultured before churning, has less water in it.

Easy to make but they\re pretty bland. I decided to add a little more sugar and jelly on top. ^^

Since you guys said they were a bit bland, I decided to add cinnamon to them.(add to taste) They turned out great!

i added a little almond milk to make it taste a little better and to make the dough a bit more doughy. it seemed a little dry to me

I substituted 1/4 brown sugar plus a little for 1/4 of the white sugar and the recipe turned out great!

I added more sugar, flour, a splash of vanilla almond milk, and peanut butter to the dough. Then sliced little bananas on top at the end and sprinkled them with cinnamon and sugar to bake the last five minutes. Delicious.

Ive made these twice now. Instead of 1/2 cup sugar, I put 2/3. I also added 1/4 tsp vanilla extract. Add jelly on top. Delish!
