Mary Martin writes that this and the recipe for Cream Pie
are from her mother’s handwritten notebooks from when she
started housekeeping in 1923, and have very little instruc
tions with it. During the Depression, money was scarce and
mothers had to use what tittle they had from the farm and very
little store-bought goodies.
