“This recipe has been in my mother’s family for generations and everyone in our family knows it by heart. Making it is a treat, too, as everyone adults and children wants a chance to scrape the bowl and lick the spoon…but not until after the sugar has been added! My dad always loved the corners because they were so chewy, and our daughters loved the middle ones because they were so gooey.” LRM
