Table of Equivalents

I’m not sure if you remember back to when I said I found recipes that were my great-grandmothers or not, but I found this list of Table Equivalents she clipped out of the newspaper.  The newspaper is old and tattered and like I stated before, my grandma said it was probably cut out in the 20’s-50’s.

Table of Equivalents

One pound of butter or shortening equals 2 cups
