## Editor's Notes
**What are Hermits?**
Hermits are a classic American spiced drop or rolled cookie dating to at least the 1870s, particularly associated with New England. Dense, chewy, and heavily spiced with dried fruit, they were prized for keeping well in a tin for several weeks — a practical virtue for farmhouse baking.
**Baking instructions missing from all versions:**
All three versions end at the mixing stage; baking was assumed knowledge. Baking details inferred from standard period Hermit recipes.
**"All kinds of spice" (Version 1):**
Deliberately vague — Version 3 gives the likely intended blend: cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Recommended starting point: 1/2–1 tsp each. Allspice and ginger are also period-appropriate additions.
**Flour missing from Versions 1 and 2:**
Neither version specifies flour quantity. Estimated from fat/sugar/egg ratios: approximately 2–2 1/2 cups for Versions 1 and 2 (drop cookies); approximately 4–5 cups for Version 3 (rolled cookie).
**Version 2 is a fragment:**
Original card instructions end after "Cream sugar and shortening together" — all subsequent steps inferred from Versions 1 and 3. Spices and flour entirely absent from original. Flag as significantly incomplete.
**"Sour milk" (Versions 2 and 3):**
Period term for naturally soured whole milk, similar to buttermilk. Modern substitution: add 1 Tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice per cup of whole milk and let stand 5 minutes.
**Version 3 has duplicate nutmeg:**
Original card lists nutmeg twice (likely a transcription error on the card itself). One tsp nutmeg intended.
**Drop vs. rolled:**
Versions 1 and 2 are soft drop cookies; Version 3 is the older, more traditional rolled-and-cut style. The three versions together suggest the recipe evolved in this household from rolled to drop over time, or reflect different sources.
**Three versions on one card:**
Unusual and archivally significant — suggests the contributor was actively comparing or consolidating recipes rather than copying a single trusted source. -
