I had trouble deciphering this one:
I think it says:

Mix all together
Separate 2½ cups of the mixture and put in milk (not sure how much)
Cook slowly
In a separate iron skillet, put the other ½ cup of the mixture and brown
Use a knife to stir it when it begins to brown
Slowly add the iron skillet mixture to the other mixture and reach to boiling
Cook until it forms a soft ball in real cold water (?)
When done stir real good until it begins to get thicker
If it gets too stiff to spread, add a small amount of sweet milk
Add to top of cake
