Notes: This comes from an old recipe book that was part of a set that my mother let me "steal" from her when I went away to college at BYU. They were virtually new then, but all five of them are now very well worn, dog eared, annotated, and covered with a fine speckling of dried sauces which accumulated over years of being propped open while beating, whipping, and stirring was underway. In other words, they have been used exactly as you hope you will use every cookbook you buy. I started making this recipe in college and it has become a family favorite.
