I got this recipe from a friend of mine, who always make these, she says her batches never comes out the same, this is her mother in-law’s recipe, she is already in her 70’s.
If you realised by now, that I am bringing you recipes that have been passed on through generations, the old people, the granny’s really know their stuff when it comes to baking and cooking.
