Thanks to our mom for this recipe. If you can believe, it’s almost 50 years old as she received it from a friend back in 1972. It’s a mainstay in our household for the holidays and may your family enjoy it as much as we have.

PS: We have made these with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Flour and they’re fantastic.
