The recipe was in her old Betty Crocker cook book. I always loved them because of the Monkey faces and the spices. It was special my mother & I did that was special with me sitting on the kitchen counter helping and licking the spoon after we were finished.

This is a vintage recipe and it calls for 1/2 cup of already sour milk plus an additional 1 tsp of vinegar. I don’t know the reason for this. Only that it does.
