The girl that made the Cardamom Amish Friendship Bread is my very best friend. We have never met in person, we actually met on the computer. I sent her the starter for the friendship bread, and am very proud she came up with this recipe. You’re awesome, Dee!
That is wonderful, Mary! Thank you for sharing this with us! We love to hear stories like this!
Happy Baking!
