Personal Notes:
This recipe was recorded by measuring amounts used in original preparation, since Great-Grandma Gussie did not have a written recipe. So, one day I had her prepare the recipe while I carefully measured out each ingredient as she took it in hand or poured it out. This was sometime in the 1960's, when she was in her 70's and still baking in her cramped Kings Highway, Brooklyn, NY apartment kitchen.
