This recipe was given to my Grandmother when she was first married to my grandfather, but her mother in law didn't give her the correct recipe!She would make it for dinner and it never tasted correct, my Great Grandma would always bring a spare loaf to dinner,& it somehow always tasted the way it should have. My grandma tried many times & could never get it right,she had given up, then her father in law showed up at her door, with the correct recipe. The next dinner they had, my Great granny took a bite of her bread and was SHOCKED! Great Grandpa laughed so hard, just to see his wife's face!
