About


this is a recipe that has been passed down through the generations.  They came from my Mom's side of the family and usually only one person per generation makes them.  I am the bean maker for the family and I bake them in my great, great Grandmother's roasting pan.  Nothing else gets cooked in that pan.  They are a great recipe and surprisingly delicious!  Us Hungarians eat them with cider vinegar!
