Spinach Prijesnac or Spinach Squares

The “Potluckers” have been meeting for potluck lunches since 1955.  Their connection is being raised in the Serbian Orthodox communities of Los Angeles. They are sisters, cousins, in-laws and above all else Friends.  I am proud to say that their members include my mother, several of my aunts, and many women I greatly admire.  This recipe has been a staple among the “Potluckers” and their daughters for as long as I can remember.   Desa P. is credited as being the creator of this wonderful dish.

1 C Milk, whole
1 C Flour, all-purpose
