This recipe made it into Book #179627 Kittencal, Thanks so much for this recipe. My mom passed away in April, and she used to make these for me as a kid. When I asked her for the recipe years later, she unfortunatly had forgotten it. This is a close second for her recipe. I will cherish it always. Thanks again. Bird
