mom’s alterations

  1. The difference between 1/4 lb. and 1/4 cup of butter is about half of one cube. I thought it said 1/4 cup of butter so that is what you got. It should have had more. Not a bad mistake as it turns out—do it however you please.
  2. I forgot the water the first batch. Once again, it worked out either way.
  3. The recipe never calls for vanilla, which I couldn’t believe, so I did put in 1/2 a teaspoon. I also added a few raisins, because I like them.
