This is so easy to make. Add the ingredients as they are listed and stir. It is a wonderful tasting bread passed down by my grandmother. My granddaughter Savannah and her twin brother Felix love to make this with me, as did all of my grandchildren when they were younger. They love to make it extra sweet with lots of cinnamon sugar on top!
