Don’t be fooled by the name of this family dish. The preparation takes less than half an hour, and you’ll be lucky if after 10 minutes someone isn’t scraping the remnants from the bowl. This recipe has been in the Carberry Family for decades, and it is only with my Grandmom’s approval that it is now being shared with you!
