One of the best things about the shop is our great customers that visit us each month. One of our favorites, Gramma Lollie, shared this recipe with us and boy oh boy is it delicious!! She shared a cute story about how she found this recipe too. She cut the recipe off of a brown sugar box when her oldest son was 2 years-old (he's now in his 40s). She was sweet enough to share it with us so we are spreading the goodness and passing it along to you. Enjoy!
