Nan Boone's delicious syrup cake was enjoyed by the LeMaire and Faulk family for many years before the recipe was finally passed on to other family members. Nan Boone was often asked for the recipe but always said it was "a little bit of this and a little bit of that". After trying to get the exact amount out of Nan Boone for years, her daughter, "Nanny" Ouida, watched over her shoulder as she made the syrup cake. Nanny wrote down all the instructions and passed it around the family. Nobody else could make it like Nan Boon until about a decade after her death when her great niece was able to perfect the recipe. She made it so well that a member of the Steen's family personally complimented her on it. She also won grand prize overall at one of the Steen's family cooking contests. |
