Grandma's Comments: Good served warm with a scoop of ice cream. But also good the next day. Best if used within 1-2 days.

Refrigerating will soften the crust.

This is one of the first recipes that Grandma Beulah Bandstra made for coffeetime before Grandpa Bert and Grandma Elaine were married. Grandma Elaine usually doubled the recipe. Grandma Beulah is Grandpa Bert's mom. This would be in the early 1960's.
