This is a recipe Joyce Morgan made for me just when I needed it most! I notice that instead of flouring the pans, she sugared the pans and it was sooo delicious!! I am amazed how much her "special touch" improved the recipe. What a great idea!  She says this is a recipe from the old Crescent 1st Ward (Mariet Greenwood and Lucille Reed)  Thank you Joyce!! Good recipes are good forever and last the test of time!
