I made this for Easter morning breakfast. Overall, we loved it. I personally thought it was a little sweet for the morning - next time I will make it without the 2T sugar, and I think it will be just perfect. The vanilla flavor was a welcome addition to the batter. I liked how the cinnamon/nutmeg did not clump up like it does when I use milk instead of half and half.
