My grandmother made these in her woodstove oven and I have always guessed at the cooking temperature and cooking times. As is usual with lots of older recipes no exact amount of flour was listed either.
Original recipe makes 3 – 4 dozen
Ingredients
1 egg
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar for decoration
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

- Bake in a preheated 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven for 8 – 10 minutes.
