"Every Family has recipes that mean more to them than the sum of the ingredients. For me there's the from-scratch pancakes my dad made every Sunday morning when I was growing up; my mother-in-law Rosemary's addictive Reuben casserole; and my great-aunt Jewel's perfect sour-cream coffee cake (which is so easy -- my 10 year old son, Nick, wowed his class when he made it for them). I'm sharing this recipe with you because I know you'll love it. And I hope it will inspire you to send us your best loved recipes (readerrecipes@familycircle.com) to share with millions of readers. After all, food + family = memories, and creating a lifetime of wonderful memories for your family is what we are all about."

I have included the above because it is not included on line.

Nice recipe and thanks for including the story.

this would be a perfect example of the magazine industry taking reader's recipes and presenting them as their own, cuz I don't see anywhere that this was a reader recipe or the submitter's name for credit in the on-line recipe. but, maybe because it's from the editor that they didn't post that info. Anyway, very nice recipe.

AngAk, Ms. Fears does state in the Magazine Copy that the recipe is that of...

her great aunt. However, that information is not listed on the website and is the reason I included the first paragraph to clarify the originator of the recipe.

I would also like to clarify that this is on the Editor's Page and not featured in the Recipes in the Magazine per se.

Hope you try it.

I'm glad you included the magazine information. I was just commenting on how, on the internet,

these recipes show up without all that information, so it looks like it's their original recipe.
