| This recipe my husband found in his grandmothers cookbook. Apparently she had made these for him as a kid. What pressure! Even thought I thought this recipe was complicated, it was quite easy to make and my husband was able to reclaim a bit of his childhood. It was great to see my husband sharing these and stories of his grandmother with our son. This was definitely a tradition worth recreating. Colleen Leader Loose Thread Stitchers |
