Personal Notes:
Grandma showed me how to make this recipe and I wrote down the process as we made it. It is a little lean as when she showed me, she did so much by feel.

EDITOR'S NOTE: We discovered the recipe card after Carol provided her version of this recipe. Ingredients and instructions match!
