*Definitely* no flour!! And yeah, I do the butter thing as well.

I used to make a large Cornigware baking dish of SP's before, now I do
them in individual ramekins. Good for serving size (according to the SO)
and one 1 cup ramekin does me for 2 meals.

Hmmmm, like a potato mornay :-)

I've thrown various herbs and spices into the mix at one time or other in
the past.... garlic, chives, black pepper, onions, spice rubs, different
BBQ seasonings.... they all come out good :-)
(Not all at once though!!)
