Description
This is out of a cookbook from a little tea room that is now closed down. It was very popular back in the 50's and 60's here in tulsa. It was called brown-dunkin which became dillard's department store years ago. In the 50's it was the place for fashionable lunching ladies. There is one catch to this recipe though. It has 4 different cooking times which are: 375 degrees for 40 minutes, 450 degrees for 10 minutes, 350 degrees for 45 minutes or 400 degrees at 50 minutes. Uhmmmm! I think that i would go for the 350 for 45 minutes. I have not made this yet but am just going for the one that best suits the recipe.
