I like to double this recipe and make it in a 9 x 13. It is one of my all time favorites, but B. doesn't really like it, so I don't make it much. I got it, along with lots of my other faves, from a sweet lady named Jean from Mississippi that I used to work with at the IRS. She brought in baked goods for us almost every day! Remember her, Ta?
