Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Sometimes Grandma made double the amount of appetizers without doubling the amount of sea scallops used. Since the scallops most commonly available were large sea scallops, she cut them in half horizontally to form two thinner disks. Then she proceeded with the recipe as directed.
