When I was growing up there was a local restaurant that made these. It was always a real treat when were able to go there and order these. Alas that restaurant is know more. So in order to fix that nostalgic craving I had to learn to make these. Periodically my wife will specifically ask for these when I cook breakfast on the weekend.
