"des moines register 8 april 1955 it says add glamour to your easter breakfast and the loaf looks braided very pretty the instructions dont look helpful on how they did it.this is the blurb, love the old recipes lol" "crisscross scone loaf is a glamorous dish to serve for easter breakfast.it requires no more mixing than biscuits and bakes in a half hour.when the cinnamon sugar aroma permeates the house,second calls for breakfast become unnecessary .a platter of fried eggs with crisp bacon slices will round out your menu .if family members have their own ideas as to how they want their eggs cooked ,serve cool glasses of orange pineapple juice to stave off hunger pangs while you comply with their wishes.honest to goodness that was the intro."
