Yet another pull from the 400+ recipe card collection I bought from ebay. These are both attributed to a woman named Mary Lilly
Unfortunately, despite the list of ingredients, there's no instructions for the actual baking process. A baking expert could probably figure it out
What I find interesting about the 1/2 recipe variation is not everything is directly cut in 1/2. This must be what they mean by "baking is a science"
No idea if either of these recipes are useful to anyone, but now the cards are saved onto the internet and don't have the risk of being lost to time! Hooray 💫
