Notes

• NOTES:
• NOTES : I started making these when I was a little girl when I use to make breakfast every weekend for my family. I really got it from a Betty Crocker cookbook. But its so old now and I know I've made it more than Betty Crocker, that I can now take credit for making it up or at leasting "adapting" or should I say in this case, "adopting" it .
