Sounds like some of the recipes that I got from the DH's grandmother. She was born in Germany in the late 1800's and she didn't use measurements, they were handed down from her mother so they're in German, plus she had
very bad handwriting. I've got a few of them mastered, but there's one of her pies the DH is wanting me to make, but I think it's going to be a while because I'm still trying to figure out the writing.
