Baking is such a cherished moment whether you are doing it alone or alongside a dear one. Baking with my mother is a moment that allows me to build memories with her. I learned baking tricks and tips from her, and she guides me through life. There is one of the cherished recipes that I learned from my mom called “Hello Dollies”. We would gather all the ingredients and work together. Throughout the baking process, we would have discussions on life or laughs talking about things we have done throughout our lives together, building even more memories. I will always hold onto them. When I'm making the “Hello Dollies” by myself, I always think of my mother. Someday I wish to carry that on to my progeny, which will make it a generational tradition.
Here is the "Hello Dollies" recipe I wish to share with you. I hope you enjoy it and I encourage you to try it.
· ½ cup butter or margarine, melted
· 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
