Poznámky

This was Nellie Doak’s * recipe, my grandmother. They were so yummy, but mine were never as good. One trick of the older generation with their secret recipes is to “forget” one ingredient when sharing recipes.The recipe never tastes as good…allegedly.

* Sara Lois, who was Ganny Doak’s sister. I think!
