Yeah that's a problem I've encountered with old recipes. Written by those who know the procedure they just need to write down the exact portions. My family's got foods lost to time that we know the ingredients of but not the method.

    The donuts my family makes for Hanukkah, the recipe card just says "add flour until sticky" and like. Thanks great grandmother. Worse though is "add a can of cherries" because guess what has changed over time? Size of that can. By several ounces.
