Grandma's Secret Tip
Grandma's Secret Tip
Trying new tastes was something Grandma enjoyed. She experimented with additions to these eggs and found she liked adding 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin to the flour mixture. Sometimes she made corncakes on the griddle to serve with these eggs instead of her usual muffins or toast.
