Rick - these are old - this is how she did it - the recipe from her sister was given to me by my cousin who worked hard at coming up with measurements - you know how some of us oldies cook and bake - by look and feel - IC questioned the recipes - and I would too - but this is what they are. Let me know.

I will Mama. And I honestly don't remember my grandmother owning measuring cups or spoons. I swear she could make a cake blindfolded.

Rick - it was the same in my family - all they needed was the wooden spoon and a bowl. The coffee cup, any spoon (dessert or teaspoon), and the hand - that was how everything was measured. Everything was eyeballed and by feel - and I still do it today.
I have a nice big mug for measuring, and I dump everything in my hand - I look at it and I know how much it is.

I got thrown out of cooking class in 7th grade for fighting with my teacher over it.

oooooh my gosh I remember my mother making these ! Not sure if she used yeast in hers or not though . Now you got me wanting to make these ! My husband will be happy that I will use some of his home made wine LOL ... better not tell him ! LOL

My family also, never used measuring cups, that is why when we needed to know how certain foods were cooked, my family had to give us a live cooking show how it was done
