My mother is a true blue Nova Scotian with Scottish, English, and German ancestry. They are indeed fantastic! Thanks for the background on the recipe!Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-29197242012275612582016-12-22T12:34:33.239+00:002016-12-22T12:34:33.239+00:00My mom always made these for Christmas.

The recipe I use is the same is the same as my mother's, and is found in a book called "Out of Old Nova Scotia Kitchens". That book has been around for generations and contains a lot of old recipes from the scottish, french, and german settlers to Nova Scotia. It also contains some indian recipes from the Mi'kmaq (pronounced meeeg mah) people. Anyhow, fantastic little treats. Its the only thing I bake and I make them the week before Christmas!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-34509694956380973802011-12-21T03:35:14.083+00:002011-12-21T03:35:14.083+00:00These are totally new to me.
