This was a recipe from a southern breakfast party Mom had...with pound cake, scrambled eggs, beaten biscuits and probably something more than just coffee to drink. I'm sure there was fruit as well as bacon or sausage too! Nope, I was wrong...Fried Chicken Livers were the 'meat' she chose. I would vote bacon or sausage myself!
