My mom also used to make these but she always added a tblsp of wheat germ to all she m,ade — An extra energy boost!! Excellent smack — wonder how many calories in each? Carbs?
We will have to try it with wheat germ! We updated the recipe card to add the nutrition information. What toppings do you like to use? We’d love to know!
I have been looking for this recipe for years. I am 51 years old and I remember when my siblings and I were very young, mom would teach us how to cook and bake. These were one of the simplest recipes we would do. And we all loved them. There is 8 of us kids. Very seldom did we all love what we were making. Thank you. Now my grandbabies can help me in the kitchen whith this one and they can all coat them how ever they want. Just like mom use to do. 🥲♥️
We’re so glad you found it! We hope it brings as much joy as the original. ❤️
