These are wonderful. My late MIL used to make these FIL was full blooded Fin, she was full Italian. I wasn't sure which ethnicity to look under for this fabulous recipe. I did change it up a bit by adding 1/4 tsp dill weed. Other than that, I was greatful to find Mom's recipe. Thanks for posting and be sure to try it yourself. We dip ours in ketchup.

I LOVE to cook and bake nearly everything!
I HATE to see people join the site, have no published recipes, but rag on another cook in a review on a recipe they haven't even tried or didn't follow.
Oh, and I hate cilantro, too. :)
