This recipe is written in a handwriting I didn't recognize. I thought it appeared to be an older recipe based on the yellowing of the recipe card and guessed it dated from the 1950s. Then my mom gave me more info on the recipe:
"The Flat Bread recipe was written by me! I think it was in grade school when we were studying the Pilgrims, or something. I was so proud to have it in the recipe box, but I don't remember what it was like to eat it."So my guess on the date was correct. Cool! I wondered how a recipe for flat bread got in the recipe box. Now I know!
