Notes
  • From the look of it, this recipe has got to be one of the oldest in the recipe collection I inherited from my mother-in-law. I found it on an absolutely yellowed piece of paper, tucked into a cookbook from 1933. The parts in parentheses were added by me to make a little more sense of this recipe.
