I'm reposting this from several years ago. Some here may remember it, but
they're so good I thought I'd post it again for those who may not have
tried them.

The recipe is one I bunged together in an attempt to duplicate those sold
by the now defunct Hough Bakeries in Cleveland. I'd say is 99 and 9/10
percent accurate. :-)
