Notes
Recipe card is stained and handwriting is difficult to read in places. Page 1 appears to be an alternate version mentioning 12 eggs, beating separately yolks and whites, 1 cup sugar for yolks, 1 cup for whites, 1 qt milk, and letting stand 1 hour. Page 2 contains the clearer version transcribed here.
