Thank You Deborah, i will have to stop tonite at the store, I wanted to make these for Christmas morning, will let you know how they come out. Again, thanks. I live in Boston area now and no one has heard of this and my Mom lost my grandmothers’ recipe. I guess I didn’t realize it was an ethnic food. ;0
