Caroline Magoffin Humphrey was the mother of George M. Humphrey, Eisenhower's Secretary of Defense. She was responsible for Saginaw's first milk ordinance and worked to further interest in good music. Her husband was a partner in the law firm of Humphrey & Grant. Mrs. Humphrey noted that this was a recipe "as used in the family of Adeline Patti's father."
This recipe comes from Savoring Saginaw cookbook written by Jean Beach and Patricia Shek that chronicles 150 years of secret family recipes in Saginaw County.
