"These are so good fresh out of the oven with a cup of something hot to drink in the morning.  It is such a good recipe, there were two copies in my Mom's original cookbook." - April Ferre

"I always loved when Mom made these for breakfast.  They are such a special treat.  Sometimes I even double the recipe." - Calla Ferre
