Gran, and Gramfeathers were expert biscuit makers.

But - for a winter afternoon snack after playing outside in Western New York -

My mom would take those Pillsbury biscuits, press down with her thumb, drop home made preserves in the depression, fold it over then . . . when they came out of the oven drizzle icing over them. So yummy.

At her funeral last year - 7 people mentioned it to me and my brother.

My mom had an amazing career for a woman born in 1947. But at heart . . . she was a haus frau.

Do you remember an old winter recipe [View all] moniss Sunday OP

Are they called by some as " Nut Rolls". FarPoint Sunday #1

Maybe this is somewhat like what you are talking about... FarPoint Sunday #2

This is close but more sweet than savory. As near as moniss Sunday #3

What you describe is different from my experience... FarPoint Sunday #4
