Sour Cream Twists Recipe
Description:
I adopted this delightful recipe from Recipezaar in August 2006, inspired by its rich history within my husband’s family. Although I haven’t had the pleasure of trying it yet, I’m eager to do so very soon. The original poster shared fond memories, stating, “This recipe has been passed down through my husband’s family. I’m not sure where it originally came from, but I’m very glad it was passed down. It’s a favorite of mine. I hope you’ll enjoy it, too! They are very rich and I have to admit that we’ve been known to eat them for breakfast as well as dessert!”
