Sad, isn't it? I don't know what happened to all my Grandma Mac's recipes.
The few I do have are full of quaintly written measurements like "butter the
size of a walnut". And, like the hand written recipes which fell out of
this old book, often don't say exactly what you should do when. Like your
grandmother, I'm sure she knew exactly what to do so she just didn't bother
writing some things down.
