    Final Comments


    Marian usually baked with butter and served oleo(margarnie) at meals. My Mom served butter at the table and baked with shortening. I'm not sure why she wrote "shortening" here. It could be that this was originally my Mom's recipe as I think she used to make it, too. I have copied this recipe exactly as Marian wrote it out on a now brown or yellow recipe card.
