Directions
Directions: Cream butter and sugar well, add the beaten yolks, then the
stiffly beaten egg whites. Put all fruits and nuts together, rub with some
of the 2 pounds of flour. Beat well, then add nuts and brandy. I make just
half of this recipe and I put in a very small teaspoon of soda. Bake
slowly. This is a transcription from my Grandma Dixon's handwritten recipe
book. It dates from the first quarter of this century.
