Buck and Buck

In my mother's/grandmother's old Shaw Walker recipe box I found this recipe. It caught my eye because it was also written in another family recipe book. I figured if it was in two places, this recipe must have been beloved by someone at some point in our family history! I have no idea how this is, and am hoping my mom will jump in with a comment about it!
