My Story
This is a multigenerational recipe handed down from the deep south. The Vanilla, Butter & Nut flavoring from Superior Products Company is critical to this recipe. The mouthwatering smell of this in the oven brings back fond memories of my great- grandma who would often tell funny stories about her sister Minnie while this was baking in the oven.
