Needs review

Uncertain upper-left margin notation: Role unclear; isolated notation is not incorporated into recipe fields. Candidates: “3.6”.

Uncertain instruction wording: Two small handwritten characters before “fingers” and “fork” are unclear, though likely an abbreviation for “with.” Candidates: “w”, “c”, “with”.

Uncertain uncertainties: the repeated character is barred-c shorthand for with Candidates: “the repeated character is barred-c shorthand for with”.
