Back in the good old days, I used to go to the college library, back in the oughts when I was a youngster, which had old, not fifties or sixties but twenties and thirties cookbooks to look for original recipes.
I have lost all but one due to cleaning out, what I thought were excess, or easily replaced photo copy pages I had.
If you can find such recipes online, which is a lot harder now due to so much sell you something crap or sites that paid google not to be on page 63, there are some there but I have spent hours trying to find some I once had and they be gone.
If recipes start asking for Oleo, they are to new but those before that taste best from my experience twenty years ago.
I have tried the longer baking and different temp. but that did not give the consistent result I once had.
I have always, and this means for forty plus years, been baking longer than recipes say.
