I posted this recipe eight years ago and they have remained my absolute favorite. But when I pulled up the recipe this morning to make them for family that is coming to visit next week, I realized the recipe itself needed some updating. So I’m posting them again with the rewritten recipe that is easier to understand and written in the correct format. 🙂
I’ll be in the kitchen most of today getting ready for one of our family Thanksgivings this weekend so I have lots of cooking and baking to do. I hope you are looking forward to a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday spent with family and friends!
