RECIPE BACKSTORY
This recipe is one my mother often made for church. This is a very moist recipe and you will be tempted to eat them for breakfast! The measurements after the ingredients are a larger recipe, that fit into my commercial size jelly roll pans. Mom's jelly roll pan was the medium size.
