RECIPE BACKSTORY
My grandmother used to feed me a sort of scrambled egg but it had flour and milk and other things. When it was cooked, like scrambled eggs, it was served sprinkled with white sugar. I hadn't had this since I was a kid almost 60 years ago. I got this recipe from a poster, Germanlady, on the TOH board. Other than the fruit and cinnamon this sounds the same.
