Rappie pies you mean?
I also have a bunch of recipes in the Newton, but I am more of an
Ad-hoc type cook...
Put me in the kitchen and I will see what's there and whip something up.
People usually eat it too!
The previous flour discussion was interesting because no one asked
whether the flour was sifted or unsifted, which would be a key
question for any baking recipe if you are measuring my volume...
