Card is fragmentary; several words are illegible or uncertain (e.g. "4? fold over?", "or [illegible]"). Seems to describe a basic sweet dough shaped into rolls or a rectangle with fruit or egg filling.
Words as written on the cards, units spelled out, nothing reworded. Read from the card by Tinfully.
