This recipe was on a piece of paper that was tucked inside a very old copy of a Watkins Cook Book that was my Grandmother’s.

It’s not part of the cookbook itself, the page size is smaller. Another recipe on the same kind of paper has “How To Make Blue Ribbon Tea” on the back. I suspect this was part of a booklet at one time provided by Blue Ribbon.

The paper is thick and yellow with age. The edges a bit rough and worn, but in good shape overall. It was included in the scan above that I made for the blog header.

Here’s the recipe:

Orange Cake

1 c. Sugar
1/2 c. Butter
2 c. Flour
1 c. Very Sour Milk
1 tsp B. Soda
1 c. Raisins
1 Orange

Squeeze Juice from orange & fruit through minces (?) rind & pulp add this to cake

There’s a quick cookie recipe at the bottom:

Cookies

1 1/4 c. Sonny Boy
1 1/2 c. Flour
1 1/4 c. Sugar

I’m not sure what Sonny Boy is, I’ll guess that it’s a brand of lard or fat.
