Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe was from our great-grandmother "Grandma Henderson". Her name was Dee Mulliken, but because we were so lucky to have both grandmothers and great- grandmothers living, we had to get creative with the names. Grandma Henderson lived in Henderson, TX, thus the name, but for many years I thought that was her last name.
