Info: Grandmother's recipes were written as she explained how to make my childhood favorites. This is my paternal grandmother, Louise Parsons Blankenship's exact words as given to me over the phone after I was married and missing her delicacies. I added some measurements (my experiment) as she sometimes forgot to give them to me...She passed away a few years ago and I miss her very much.
