Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

When those having dinner included just Grandma, Grandpa and a couple of their daughters, Grandma halved this recipe. Of the 2 cans of corn, she omitted the can of cream-style corn. Instead of trying to measure half of 1/4 cup flour, she found it was easier just to measure out 2 tablespoons.
