Dear Terechu,
Thanks for the web site. It was quite helpful. I will add it to my favorites

Dear Ron,
Thanks again for the recipe. Will add to my cookbook for family members.

Thankyou. My friends will translate into English for me.

Thanks for the replies to my questions. I know my family is related to the David Blanco family. My family traveled from Asturius to West Virginia and settled in DePue Il. They followed the zinc industry from Spain and then to DePue with the opening of a new zinc plant there. Please share your recipe...

Yes, my grandmother also put chorizo in her buns. We as children couldn't wait for her to visit. She even taught us how to make the chorizo.
She also would make a thin pancake and serve it with sprinkled sugar on it. Lots of wonderful memories of my grandmother!!

I am sorry I hadn't seen this last post on Easter bread. It brought a smile to my face. That is the recipe I needed.
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.........

I am making a cookbook for my family including my grandmothers recipes to pass on. I have found many on this site. I am looking for a sweet bread recipe that my grandmother made. It contained 12 eggs, milk, flour, and other ingredients. Does anyone have the recipe?

Thanks Bob I'll do that.
