Notes: This is a very old recipe of my mother's - Eunice Little. She and I used to use coffee cans, but they don't work anymore. That's why I started using potato cans. Peel the paper off the can, spray with oil and flour (I use Bakers Joy), using a paper towel to make sure all creases are covered.
This keeps well for a long time. Freezes well also.
I love it toasted and buttered with my coffee.
