Personal Notes:
Grandma Ponton made these and did not tell us the temperature and how long to bake. She had a wood stove or very early gas stove that did not have a temperature setting. It was usually hot or hotter. I am assuming cook at 350 degrees and watch until brown and cooked throughout. Possibly about 20 + (-) minutes.
