This is a recipe from my husband's great-grandmother. I've not made it myself, but her recipes always net fabulous results, and they're often very traditional. This is a triple recipe - smaller portion recipe is noted at the end of the directions.

How To Make mexican wedding cakes

    Mix all ingredients together - using your hands works best.

    Bake at 350 just until set and very lightly golden brown on the bottom.

    After they have cooled - and best just before serving - roll in sifted powdered sugar.
