Mondelbrote

Interesting - obviously there are several versions for mondelbrote. We already had 2 additional versions on the website. I think the one on the yellow paper most closely resembles the version Shawine has for Nana's recipe.

This is the recipe for the croissants that Gag always took to Thanksgiving dinners.  I sure missed those this year!
