I have been able to decode the rest of the recipe but the highlighted ingredient has me stumped. I’m not the best at baking so I’m not sure what it could be. The streusel is on the back, if that information is of any use 🫣

It’s absolutely baking powder – that’s a cursive P.

It is a capital B and a P for Baking Powder. Just looks a little funky because the f in flour above dragged onto their line, splitting up the B and the P.

It’s 2 Tsp (teaspoons) Baking Power. The F above it is dripping down into that line.

Thank you all for the help! I’m on mobile and can’t edit but we’ve cracked the code on by gma-in-laws baking powder abbreviation.

I agree that it is baking powder. But if you’re still willing, I’d love to see the back of the card!

“B P” = Baking Powder
What’s in between is the cursive down stroke of the lower case “f”.

My grandmother had those same recipe cards! Now some of my dearest treasures!
Did anyone else read that recipe as calling for 6 lbs of shortening?

2 teaspoons of baking powder. I was a pastry chef and my notebook of chicken scratch recipes reference BP and BS for baking soda ☺️

It’s crazy to me how the handwriting from that generation looks identical. I have recipe cards from my grandmother that I could put next to that and you’d think it was the same person.
