                  <text>This is a collection I found on eBay that turned out to have a lot of really interesting aspects to it.  Some of the cards had the 'recipe from the kitchen of' filled in with names and even dates which gives a ton of history and context.  Additionally, this collection had some interesting nuances.  Firstly, there was one card (0015 - Molded Ambrosia) where the instructions on the rear of the card were partly documented with some kind of short hand.  I was not able to decipher the short hand, but with AI help, I was able to suss out the instructions.  Additionally, there are a number of repeated recipes in the collection.  This hints at a few possibilities.  The two main ideas to me are either recipes were requested from the original cooks more than once, or more than one collection was combined over time.  0005, 0031, and 0032 are great examples of this.  Two of the recipes (0005 and 0031) are for 'Corn Cakes' and note that the recipe is from Edna Fausz.  Edna is also mentioned on a recipe (0032) for 'Cloud Light Pancakes' which shows as being from the kitchen of Alice Gall.  This seems to imply that for 'Cloud Light Pancakes' Alice got the recipe from Edna originally, wrote it down and applied her label and then sent the card to Paula.  The other two (0005/0031) were also originally from Edna and sent by way of Alice to Paula.  These links are what make these collections so much more than just the recipes.</text>

                  <text>This is a fun batch of cards from Florida.  In this set there was a mix of handwritten recipes, clippings (most of which I excluded), and clippings taped/glued to cards.  There were a couple of standout recipes like 'Hamb. Something' and 'Hobo Hotdish' that really cracked me up.  There were also some interesting nuances in terms of techniques.  One standout is the recipe for 'Vanilla Ice Cream' that includes lemon juice and flour.</text>

                  <text>This is a fun batch of cards from Florida.  In this set there was a mix of handwritten recipes, clippings (most of which I excluded), and clippings taped/glued to cards.  There were a couple of standout recipes like 'Hamb. Something' and 'Hobo Hotdish' that really cracked me up.  There were also some interesting nuances in terms of techniques.  One standout is the recipe for 'Vanilla Ice Cream' that includes lemon juice and flour.</text>

                  <text>This is a fun batch of cards from Florida.  In this set there was a mix of handwritten recipes, clippings (most of which I excluded), and clippings taped/glued to cards.  There were a couple of standout recipes like 'Hamb. Something' and 'Hobo Hotdish' that really cracked me up.  There were also some interesting nuances in terms of techniques.  One standout is the recipe for 'Vanilla Ice Cream' that includes lemon juice and flour.</text>

                  <text>This is a fun batch of cards from Florida.  In this set there was a mix of handwritten recipes, clippings (most of which I excluded), and clippings taped/glued to cards.  There were a couple of standout recipes like 'Hamb. Something' and 'Hobo Hotdish' that really cracked me up.  There were also some interesting nuances in terms of techniques.  One standout is the recipe for 'Vanilla Ice Cream' that includes lemon juice and flour.</text>

Features Editor Mary Kate Hogan
shares the secrets of her aunt Anne,
90, a wonderful baker. This family fa-
vorite is delicious and simple to make,
and the cookies keep well–if they
aren't devoured right away! Freeze the
dough up to a month ahead, then just
slice and bake when hungry.*

PREP 30 minutes plus chilling
BAKE about 12 minutes per batch
MAKES about 6 dozen cookies

   3/4  cup sugar
   1/2  cup butter (1 stick), softened
             (no substitutions)
     1  large egg
   1/2  teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4  cups all-purpose flour
     1  tablespoon anise seeds, crushed
   1/2  teaspoon baking powder
   1/4  teaspoon salt

Back:
1. In large bowl, with mixer at medi-
um speed, beat sugar and butter un-
til creamy, about 1 minute, occa-
sionally scraping bowl with rubber
spatula. Reduce speed to low; beat
in egg and vanilla until blended.
Beat in flour, anise seeds, baking
powder, and salt until well com-
bined, occasionally scraping bowl.

2. Divide dough in half. Shape each
half into 5 1/2" by 2" rectangle. Wrap
each rectangle in plastic wrap and re-
frigerate 2 hours or until dough is
firm enough to slice. (Or place
dough in freezer about 1 hour. )
3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease
large cookie sheet. With knife, cut
rectangle crosswise into scant
1/8-inch-thick slices. Place cookies,
1 inch apart, on cookie sheet.
4. Bake cookies 12 to 14 minutes or
until lightly browned. Transfer cook-

                  <text>This is a fun batch of cards from Florida.  In this set there was a mix of handwritten recipes, clippings (most of which I excluded), and clippings taped/glued to cards.  There were a couple of standout recipes like 'Hamb. Something' and 'Hobo Hotdish' that really cracked me up.  There were also some interesting nuances in terms of techniques.  One standout is the recipe for 'Vanilla Ice Cream' that includes lemon juice and flour.</text>

                  <text>This is a fun batch of cards from Florida.  In this set there was a mix of handwritten recipes, clippings (most of which I excluded), and clippings taped/glued to cards.  There were a couple of standout recipes like 'Hamb. Something' and 'Hobo Hotdish' that really cracked me up.  There were also some interesting nuances in terms of techniques.  One standout is the recipe for 'Vanilla Ice Cream' that includes lemon juice and flour.</text>

                <text>Hot Cross Buns

Here's the good, old-fashioned way to
plump, tender, spicy buns—
   2 packages active dry yeast
      or 2 cakes compressed yeast
   1/3 cup water
   1/3 cup milk, scalded
   1/2 cup salad oil or melted
      shortening
   1/3 cup sugar
   3/4 teaspoon salt
   3 1/2 to 4 cups sifted enriched flour
   1/2 to 1 teaspoon cinnamon
   3 beaten eggs
   2/3 cup currants

                  <text>This is a fun batch of cards from Florida.  In this set there was a mix of handwritten recipes, clippings (most of which I excluded), and clippings taped/glued to cards.  There were a couple of standout recipes like 'Hamb. Something' and 'Hobo Hotdish' that really cracked me up.  There were also some interesting nuances in terms of techniques.  One standout is the recipe for 'Vanilla Ice Cream' that includes lemon juice and flour.</text>

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In food processor, with knife blade attached, blend flour, butter, and 1/3 cup sugar just until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk, almond extract, and 2 tablespoons water, and blend until mixture just begins to form a ball (do not overmix).
2. With hand, press dough onto bottom of 15 1/2" by 10 1/2" jelly-roll pan. For easier spreading, place sheet of plastic wrap over dough and smooth dough evenly over bottom of pan. (To help make an even layer, use bottom of 8- or 9-inch square pan to press dough.) Discard plastic wrap.
3. In cup, with fork, beat egg white and salt; brush some over dough. Top dough with almonds; sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
4. With knife, gently cut dough lengthwise into 6 strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 8 bars.
5. Bake cookies about 20 minutes or until golden. Transfer cookies in pan to wire rack to cool 5 minutes. While cookies are still warm, cut cookies again following cut marks. Cool cookies completely in pan.</text>
