Recipe Introduction
This is my Grandmother Ettinger's recipe, since she is no longer with us I received the recipe from my Aunt Lynn. My Grandmother would bake in the kitchen on Holdiays and Sundays for all of her 13 kids and several grandkids. Yes she had 13 kids, my mother being the oldest!! She was the one who inspired me to cook. Grandma would always say "Eat something you'll feel better!" Here's to you GRANDMA!!
