Emma Dean’s recipe for Grannie’s Hedgehog!

Grannie’s Hedgehog

I am lucky enough to inherit my beautiful Grandma’s cook book, written and typed out by hand. It is a treasure trove of recipes and nostalgia. If you look closely in the photo you can see her beautiful handwriting!

Grannie would always have a batch of these beauties on hand. I love you Gran!
