Love this Willow! I'd love to see the pie crust recipe from your great-grandmother's recipes. Also let us know if you see some strange measurements. I have an old cookbook and one recipe calls for a "cube" of butter. I have no idea how much butter that is. Hah

You got it! Transcribed as on the card, it looks like Wilma wrote it down from someone named Mrs. Lillian Gustafson. Pie Crust 3 cups flour 1 cup lard 1/2 cup hot water 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp baking powder Mix lard & hot water, add flour, salt & baking powder sifted together. Mix well & set in cool place till ready to use. Best if sets over night if kept cold 2 or 3 days.

@@WillowPolson I thought it probably involved lard. lol My mom always made her pie crust with lard and it was sooo good. Anyway, thank you!
