Author: Virginia Frischkorn

This recipe was given to me by my mother. It has been a crowd favorite amongst my friends in every apartment and home I’ve ever lived in. And…my children gobble them up faster than I can make them. They are the perfect thing to bake when entertaining guests for breakfast, brunch or on a dinner table in a bread basket!
