In my very first book, one of the secondary characters, who also happened to be the hero's sister, was a fabulous baker. Seeing as how I adore baked goods, I knew I had to share one of Cordelia's recipes with you today. I actually adapted this recipe from one I found on the Food Network, and made it myself.
