Hi Rosy, Thanks for the recipe. These are so much better home made than from the store. You're one talented lady. Maybe it's the German thing. I was born there and some things you cook remind me of my Oma's excellent cooking. Brings back nice memories. regards, Dee
Oh wow, those look really yummy!
Delicious! My mom made these when I was little... Have a wonderful Easter.

Oh gosh, they are sooooo good and I had eaten three before I went to bed...Dee, I had an Oma. I was born in Germany. I kinda like cooking and thank goodness because I don't like to eat out. I will remake them for Easter and maybe a panatoni also. You all have a wonderful Easter too and make some hot cross buns..
