This is a recipe I received from Linda Gail McCollum, she was our Father's cousin. Linda Gail received this recipe from her Mother, Shirley "Audrey" Waters Cannon in 1967. Linda Gail's Father was Woodrow "Wilson" Cannon, who was our Grandmother Clara's brother. Shirley "Audrey" Waters Cannon passed away in 2010.
