    Haaahhhhh!! A post that reminded me of the same mummy used to make during my growing up years. She has aged so we don’t get such goodies from here anymore. I too have forgotten that such treats exist and thanks for reminding me.

    The savory version is awesomely pulling me down with hunger. Lovely and good all the way.
