I have an adventurous child who decided she needed some summer spending money so she started selling baked goods at our local Farmer's Market. This is one item she made last year. She copied the recipe out of a very old cookbook but never wrote down the title of the book. These really are wonderful. They would be perfect to serve at a ladies tea or any time you have guests staying with you.
