This recipe was one of my favorites when I was young, and I would beg my mom to make this nearly every Saturday or Sunday morning. Eventually, she showed me the recipe and helped me make my first one while I was in middle school. While I have the recipe, I still prefer to make it only on particularly calm weekend mornings. It makes it all the more special to share over a warm cup of tea, coffee, hot chocolate or cider.
