I was working off of Mom’s handwritten recipe card for this year’s batch, not my version that spells out all the steps… couldn’t find my own card so had to wing it, until I remembered I’d blogged the full recipe a few years back. Whew. Her card is just a list of ingredients, very casually grouped together with brackets… and the brackets run from the front to the back of the card. Uh, well, everything is together and has been kneaded lightly and set aside for the first rise; I should have put all the savory ingredients in the double…
