## Editor's Notes
- **"Here's what's cookin'"** — Pre-printed decorative header on the recipe card; not part of the recipe title.
- **"Serves"** — The word "Serves" appears on the card header after the title but no number follows; the yield/serving count was never filled in and has been omitted.
- **"Recipe from the kitchen of"** — Pre-printed attribution line on the card; no name was filled in, so no attribution line has been added.
- **"Meanwhile prepa—"** — The word is cut off at the top of the back of the card, obscured by tape. Context makes clear the intended word is "prepare," transcribed accordingly in the Instructions.
- **"Cottage Pudding batter"** — A standard mid-century preparation: a simple white cake batter (butter, sugar, egg, flour, milk, baking powder, vanilla). The recipe as written assumes the cook knows or has a separate source for this batter; it is not provided on this card. This is a significant omission.
- **"Hard Sauce"** — A classic accompaniment: creamed butter and sugar (sometimes with brandy or vanilla), served firm or at room temperature over warm puddings and cobblers.
- **Baking time for the apple-softening phase** — No time is given for the first bake (apples only). The card instructs "bake until the apples are soft," leaving duration to the cook's judgment. Typically 15–20 minutes at 350°F for sliced apples.
- Instructions are split across both sides of the card.
