This recipe came from my great-aunt tina. It is very, very old. Honestly if i see this recipe it would never cross my mind to try it, but…i had them when i was a child and they are fabulous!! Times have change and i know we are not suppose to eat raw eggs so if anybody has a suggestion on how to fix that please z-mail.
