| me and my sister |
When my sister and I were kids, or maybe teenagers, we found a hickory nut cake recipe somewhere in a book we were reading. I had the impression it was one of the little house on the prairie books, but now don't think that is right.
Anyway, we had a hickory nut tree on the farm and my Dad liked them, so we thought we'd make it for him. Of course, he had to crack the hickory nuts. Have you ever tried to crack a hickory nut? They are super hard. Dad used to get out the hammer. This is why the recipe has such a quantity range for the nuts -- you just use what you feel like cracking!
