December 30, 2012If you are wanting to try this recipe, I would recommend that you cut it down 1/2 or even 1/4. You can leave out the pearl ash, as it is just an old leavening that was replaced by baking soda. Thick milk is sour milk (put the vinegar in the milk to sour it). Crisco solid shortening can be used instead of lard.
