The story behind the recipe
This recipe was passed down from my mother who used to have it ready out of the oven on a wire rack when we used to walk up the road from the bus after school. It was a snack to keep us going until dinner time. She still makes it today for me and now her grandchildren who also love it. I hope to make it someday with my children or have it for after school for them when they return home on the bus!
