These were quite sweet and our family enjoyed these! -
These were easy to make but I did make a few substitutions: Bulgarian buttermilk for milk, currants for raisins, Spectrum Naturals coconut oil for shortening. Fried in a little bit of a combination of butter and oil. Be sure to not form the cakes too thick or they will not cook in the center. I like the subtle flavor of vanilla, too. Thanks for posting! Delicious with a slather of blackberry jam! PS does help to have the ingredients written in order. Are there supposed to be two eggs? Step #3 mentions "eggs" but the ingredients' list shows only one. fyi -
Mmmmmmm! My family loved these! They taste like a soft sugar cookie, and are still good cold! -
Very nice, they are kind of like a cross between a pancake and a scone. Would be great topped with fruit and whipped cream.

Burnsville, Minnesota
I live in Minnesota, and actually like the winter more than summer! (Must have Siberian ancestors!)
The main focus of my life is, and always has been, children. I've spent the majority of my life either educating myself about children, having and raising children, or working with children. I presently work in an elementary school with children that have emotional/behavioral difficulties, and have three daughters of my own.
I also have four grandsons (one an extra gift that came when my daughter very wisely married his dad) and will become Grandma to the the 5th baby in June. This one a little girl! I can not wait!! I received so much joy being a mother that finding that much joy, and more, in being 'Grandma' has taken me by surprise. They are all the best gifts ever given to me.
Whatever free time I have is spent with my nose in a book, surfing the web for new recipes, or with my wonderful friends, both online and "in person".
