I was first introduced to this by Peggy.It did not sound so good but when she gave me a plate of it with her yummy biscuits I was hooked. Thanks for posting this recipe. I miss her so much.
I’m gonna make me some while I’m being bad this Christmas!
I remember eating this many mornings at Peggy’s when she lived in Blacksburg. Delicious!
