Recipe’s Story: Anecdote (Three to Five Sentences)

This recipe was handed down from my grandmother. Since she passed away before my sister and I were older enough to learn to bake, it was one of our favorites, most challenging recipes to learn how to make despite minimal directions. Through many years of trial and error (and forgetting exactly what we did last time), we learned the little quirks to add to this recipe today while also learning it’s always a good idea to take notes.
