Changes from the original

Quantities are unchanged. The unit 'dd.' is uncertain and interpreted as dl so that the proportions of sugar, butter and flour are sensible; this should be checked against the facsimile.

Note on Modernised

Mål er uendret. Enheten «dd.» er usikker og tolket som dl, slik at forholdet mellom sukker, smør og mel blir rimelig; dette bør kontrolleres mot faksimilen.
