Here’s a handwritten recipe that was found in a large collection of old recipes, the date is unknown but I have another recipe dated 1971 [1] with the same handwriting and the word “Amish” written in the top left corner just like this one. Recipe is typed in full below as well as a scanned copy (click to view large).
