So excited to find this recipe on my first look at this site! Many thanks! Its been in my family for many years too, but I lost it! I believe that ours was slightly different,but shall try this just to see what the difference (if any!") is! I believe my Great-Grandmother used to make these and handed the recipe down! How about the Butter cakes...do u make them too???
