Notes:
The recipe is worded exactly as it was handed down to me many years ago. Although simple I have had Professional Bakers have trouble perfecting it. It was originally designed for no machinery, only bowl and spoon for that is what Grammy had in her tool box. I last made it with peanut butter filling and marshmallow frosting.
