This is one of my dad's mom's Hungarian recipes. Grandma lived with my mom and dad until she passed away when I was 3 months old. She left a lot of hand written recipes for my mom who was only 19 at the time- my mom made a lot of these recipes for our family growing up in the 40's and 50's, now I have some of these recipes in my arsenal and have tweaked them a bit for modern times- hope you like this one. Enjoy! Photo from ifood.
