"This was a fantastic!! A bit on the bitter side, but i'd still go with 5 stars here. Dressing was amazing too. I used 2 brown pears cause I couldn't find red ones but it was still great!

"It should be more clear on what type of buttermilk pancake mix we should be using here. It should also be more clear as to if we are supposed to follow the instructions on the box of mix and then add these remaining ingredients or not. We tried it both ways and we used a whole wheat buttermilk pancake mix. When we just used the dry powder and the water it left a really funky after-taste. When we followed the recipe on the box and then just added the puree and the spices, leaving out the water it tasted better. The syrup was fantastic though, major points for the syrup, simple and yummy!
