Bake at 375°F for 10–12 minutes until set and lightly browned at edges. --- ## 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.

Title A name given to the resource RCA0006 - The Yetka family collection that started the project Subject The topic of the resource Cooking Recipe Cards Description An account of the resource This was the collection that started it all. I found this posted on eBay as a large lot of recipe cards, clippings, and other cooking related materials but not box to contain them all. When I received the collection, I was hooked. There were lots of handwritten cards, typed cards, clippings glued to cards, promotional cards, and everything in between. As I worked through the archival steps on these, there were lots of little nuances that stood out. First, you’ll see quite a few cards with magazine and newspaper clippings that I’ve included. These stood out to me because there was clearly a lot of care put into cutting these out and then gluing them to cards to include in their recipe box. I find this extra time and care speaks a lot to me about the value of these clippings versus the hundreds of clippings that were simply loose in the collection. Second, there were a lot of canning and pickling related cards here. So much has changed about canning since the time period of this collection. The use of alum and lime certainly stood out as neither are recommended by the USDA anymore. Additionally, many of the recipes expected a level of knowledge about the overall process. For example, none of the cards explain the actual water bath canning tools or process. Lastly, I got to learn a whole new (to me) unit of measure, the peck. One peck is 8 dry quarts. Third, there is a type of dessert that self-separates during baking which I found completely fascinating. An example of this is “Cake Lemon Pie” (RCA0006-20260609-0111). This is high on my list of recipes to try so I can get my head better wrapped about the separation during cooking. I also spent a good bit of time polishing the recipe parsing process during this collection. The formatted versions should be more consistent going forward and I’ll be trying to capture interesting notes in the Editor’s Note section at the bottom.

Title A name given to the resource RCA0006 - The Yetka family collection that started the project Subject The topic of the resource Cooking Recipe Cards Description An account of the resource This was the collection that started it all. I found this posted on eBay as a large lot of recipe cards, clippings, and other cooking related materials but not box to contain them all. When I received the collection, I was hooked. There were lots of handwritten cards, typed cards, clippings glued to cards, promotional cards, and everything in between. As I worked through the archival steps on these, there were lots of little nuances that stood out. First, you’ll see quite a few cards with magazine and newspaper clippings that I’ve included. These stood out to me because there was clearly a lot of care put into cutting these out and then gluing them to cards to include in their recipe box. I find this extra time and care speaks a lot to me about the value of these clippings versus the hundreds of clippings that were simply loose in the collection. Second, there were a lot of canning and pickling related cards here. So much has changed about canning since the time period of this collection. The use of alum and lime certainly stood out as neither are recommended by the USDA anymore. Additionally, many of the recipes expected a level of knowledge about the overall process. For example, none of the cards explain the actual water bath canning tools or process. Lastly, I got to learn a whole new (to me) unit of measure, the peck. One peck is 8 dry quarts. Third, there is a type of dessert that self-separates during baking which I found completely fascinating. An example of this is “Cake Lemon Pie” (RCA0006-20260609-0111). This is high on my list of recipes to try so I can get my head better wrapped about the separation during cooking. I also spent a good bit of time polishing the recipe parsing process during this collection. The formatted versions should be more consistent going forward and I’ll be trying to capture interesting notes in the Editor’s Note section at the bottom.

Title A name given to the resource RCA0008 - Florida Collection of Typed Cards Subject The topic of the resource Cooking Recipe Cards Description An account of the resource This was a great collection to go through for a few reasons. First, every card in the collection was typewritten on a typewriter with dates spanning decades. In addition, most of the cards were recipes transcribed from magazines, newspapers, and TV. This tells me that the original owner was very passionate about the process of cataloging these recipes in addition to the recipes themselves. With the recipes, there are several other odds and ends like tags from souvenirs. But, in addition to the tags are typed cards transcribing the tags. And, to round out the love for these cards, every single card had a plastic sleeve protecting it. Second, this collection had some interesting recipes that originally caught my eye. Where else would I find recipes for 'Squirrel and Biscuits', 'Roast Opossum', and 'Armadillo'?! On top of the interesting ones, there are a few that stand out as recipes I want to try. 'Old-Fashioned Cheesecake with Zwieback Crust' sounds super tasty and introduced me to zwieback. And, I love oysters, so 'Scalloped Oysters' will definely hit the table at some point in the near future. Very fun collection and I wish I knew more about the original owner. I think we'd have a lot in common.

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.

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.

Title A name given to the resource RCA0003 - VTG LG Wood Recipe Box Dove Tail w/Metal Hinges Full Of Recipes & Handwritten Subject The topic of the resource Cooking Recipe Cards Description An account of the resource 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.

Title A name given to the resource RCA0007 - Vintage Handwritten Recipe Card Collection w/ Metal Recipe Box 60+ Recipes Subject The topic of the resource Cooking Recipe Cards Description An account of the resource A small, but interesting collection. The cards in this box spanned from classic recipes, to soap, to DIY bee pollen to keep your bees alive until they can start harvesting their own pollen. There were also some repeated recipes and, of those, the Sour Milk Pancakes stood out. There are two versions of that recipe in the collection. Sour Milk Pancakes is the older version and expects that cooks have soured milk on hand. Later on, the recipe was updated to use buttermilk instead. From what I can find online, this transition happened as home refrigeration became more common. Prior to homes having a refrigerator, milk would sour fairly quickly and would then be used for the acid in recipes like this rather than having the sour milk go to waste. Another standout recipe in this set is Sukiyaki (for 100 People). The scale of this recipe indicates that this collection was built by someone who would cook for large events. There are also a few other recipes, like Punch, that are scaled for a crowd. One of the recipes (Chicken Casserole) is attributed to 'Pres. and Sis. Kimball' which could indicate members of the Church of Latter-Day Saints.
