I’m cleaning out some old cabinets (my grandma’s mother’s things that she never went through) and came across a recipe that’s on paper so old it would rather break than bend. It’s not dated, though I’ve found several documents from 1917 so far. It’s just fun and I thought I’d share!

Editor’s note: lol egg shites
Ooohh this sounds so good!! Thx for sharing OP:)
Egg shites cracked me up. I wonder what moderate oven means? 350⁰??? This does sound really good though. I think I’m gonna try it, and if anyone has a better idea of temperature, let me know.
