This is a handwritten recipe on a lined sheet of paper that has aged and the side of the page is brittle and yellowed. The recipe was added to over time with various notes, I’ve typed it below as is but put the directions in some order. There are some larger measurement notations to the side that I didn’t include, I believe it would be for a larger size kuchen.
