This recipe was given to me by a Jewish Lady that attended the church ,I went to as a young girl. She all ways had the time for the young people that wanted to learn to cook or bake .When people would tease her about being Jewish and attending our church ,she would say "God is God" ::Besides in Marksville there was no Jewish House of Worship ...Many a young person learned great patience thru her .
