This recipe was published in 1960 in Favorite Recipes from Royal Neighbor Kitchens. The foreword begins with, “There is a bond of fellowship between all good cooks.” And ends with, “Royal Neighbors of America is dedicated to the home and family, as its twofold service provides sound life insurance and true fraternal activities for men, women, and children.”
