This recipe was adapted from The Amish Community Cookbook - Simply Delicious Recipes from Amish and Mennonite Homes. Some ingredients have obviously been "modernized" but still go along with traditional cuisine! To lower calories, I skip the honey and it's plenty sweet enough for me when I use the optional raisinsl
