old fashioned short cake, margaret irwin kinney
Sherry says this recipe only called for bake in hot oven, she didn't know what temp or how long. Back in the old days when there was not a temperature on the oven, women had to list hot, moderate, etc. They would test by hand. So depending upon the heat each person figured there could be a 25 degree or more difference. That also made listing a time somewhat pointless...LOL. Can you just imagine having to bake that way? My father also remembers they did a lot of canning, since there was no refrigeration available.

Step 2So a hot oven, suggest 400 degrees, in 8" square ungreased pan, 18-20 min. However, that's my guess.
