“I now make this every year for Christmas brunch. It is a family favorite. I have made it in the bundt pan, and have also made it in individual giant muffin format. Love the orange caramel that develops if all goes well. Thanks for this version of this fun ” — a cook, 5.0★
“I made this recipe as instructed. I loved the taste, but I was not happy with the texture. It was too dense. Maybe it was the buttermilk biscuits. I might try this again, but using the original flaky biscuits instead.” — a cook, 3.0★
