The author’s granddaughter, Veronica Lange Bourque shares her memory of the time as a student in Mrs. Drott’s 8th grade Home-Economics class. Mrs. Drott allowed each student to choose one of their favorite recipes to be prepared and shared with the class. Each dish was then anonymously voted on by the student. Thanks to her Me Maw’s recipe, Veronica won the dessert category. Fun Fact: Back in the day this recipe was said to cost 53 cents per dozen to make.
