Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
All of these measurements are estimates. Grandma taught me how to make this when I was in grade school and years later when I asked her for the recipe she told me the ingredients, but no measurements. She always added a little of this and a little of that until it tasted right! This is for sure a Wiersma family favorite!
