I thought so, I thought I remembered my mom making it when I was a kid, maybe from her hosting a show.

Thanks for the recipe! How would I add that book, is it still for sale through PC?
 
Just a piece of information when laying out the ring (cresent rolls), look at your stone like a clock, lay the first piece at 12, 6, 9 and 3. The space left should if layed out correctly hold a dollar bill folded in half. Then you just fill in the rest of the clock. My director told me this. Really help you to lay out a perfect ring.

Yes! It has a lot of other great recipes , including the Chicken Ring, and homemade salsa & guacamole- everyone LOVEs them (which is great to show when doing another Mexican recipe - fajitas or the mexican lasagna in the DCB).

I guess I need the round stone before I can make it! I've just heard about it, so I was going to try it, but I guess it will have to wait!

Yes, to make it in a ring you need a round stone, however, it tastes just the same if you make it as a braid on the large bar pan. Just lay out the dough in a rectangle.
 
this is such an awesome recipe -- I think I'll make it for supper tomorrow -- thanks
