Personal Notes:
This was a family favorite, I remember Grandma McCormick making them all the time. My mother (Joan Gamble) Lois McCormick's daughter would make them every year for our Christmas breakfast. She would often make them and share them with neighbors. On 2 or 3 occasions she would make them for the Butler 7th Wards 4th of July breakfast. They definitely were a hit!
