I was visiting friends in California and didn't have my Mother's recipe. I found this one and made it. It was easy and they apsolutely loved it. It is the same as my Mom's, but she used soured cream in place of the cream cheese. Both recipes are wonderful. i would suggest that the amount of time for refrigeration and the size the four doughs should be made be listed.
