This sounds pretty good. Do you have any idea how many servings it makes? 6? 8?

I just cook for myself, so I have to reduce recipes to avoid having too much. An extra serving or two is fine, but I wouldn't want more than that. I can do the reduction with no problem -- been doing it for years. But it helps to have an idea of how much the original recipe makes. :) Even if you could just tell me the size (either volume or measurements) of the pan you baked it in, it would be sufficient information for me to know where to start.

Thanks! :)
