Notes

Two different handwritten cards of the same recipe (same hand): Rosie_Lee.16 and Rosie_Lee.17. Ingredients and method are identical; card 17 adds the powdered-sugar coating step.

Filling method (mixing walnuts, milk, cinnamon, sugar) isn’t spelled out on either card.

Part of the card is cut off or missing: Rosie_Lee.17: the last line (‘sprinkle with more Powdered Sugar’) sits at the bottom scan edge; lower parts of letters are cut but the words are readable. Rosie_Lee.16: ‘Squares’ is cramped against the right edge but complete.
