This time of year is frantic for everyone. I am a list minute kind of gal, so I thrive on the rush. I plan in my head what I want to do but I don’t execute my plan until there is no time to spare. Today, is no different. I have went through my day doing my usual chores. My family starts gathering tonight so that everyone can make it to my grandmother’s for dinner before we all get caught up in the big Christmas rush. To save my poor grandmother from cooking for all seventy of us, we pitch in and bring a dish. It seems as though, I have waited too long to start on my desserts in order to be ready in less than one hour. So I pulled out this old fashioned recipe that I have made for years. It’s baking while I’m typing. When it’s done, I am out the door. No time lost. It will take about 15 minutes to prepare and 45-50 minutes to bake. So if your in a hurry for a dessert, try this one.
