Read this one with the card open. Something on it is illegible, missing or ambiguous. It is transcribed exactly as written — nothing has been guessed or filled in — and every uncertainty is marked below.
Summary
A handwritten index-card recipe for monkey bread — dough balls rolled in cinnamon sugar, baked, and finished with a boiled margarine-sugar glaze — but the card gives no recipe or source for the dough itself.
Key contents
- Assembly: Make dough into little balls about quarter size. Roll in 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon.
- Pan: Put balls into pan. Let rise until level to pan. (One line reads "grea[se] bu[nd]t[?] pan" — partly illegible; likely instructs greasing a bundt pan, not fully legible.)
- Bake: 350°F, 20-30 minutes; let set for 5 minutes after baking.
- Glaze: Boil together 1-2 minutes: 1 stick margarine, 1/2 cup sugar. Cool, then pour over top of bread. Bake (glaze step implies a further short bake, per card's final word "Bake.").
- The card never states what "dough" is — no dough ingredients, no dough recipe, and no indication whether it means a yeast dough made from scratch or a canned/refrigerated biscuit dough. The "let rise" instruction implies a yeast dough, but none is given.
- Handwritten in cursive blue ink on ruled notebook-style index card (blue center rule line visible, likely a Boorum-style recipe card).
