Magnolia Bakery and Buttercup Bake Shop - Combined, Condensed, Alphabetized and Edited, with Index to 129 Collected Recipes

I will start with the Index first.
I first posted all these in 2005, as blueridge_va, gathering together into two threads, what I could find, then got the cook books on loan.
The recipes were so very wordy and lengthy, which I really dislike on any recipe.So these are done for myself but am sharing.You may not like this version, so I will try to keep the others bumped.
They are as mistake free as 5-6 edits can find.
They are single-spaced, so as to further compact.
All are numbered to co-orespond to the index and the index will also have initials as to whether it is M.B., B.B.S., (B.B. for the very few from Billy's Bakery, and S.S.S. for (1-2) from Sugar Sweet Sunshine.The last two were nearly identical to the originals, their own poetic licenses taken.
No important directions have been removed.
All oven temps. are accurate, baking times are to be adjusted to your own oven.
Testing for doneness is done in your usual manner.
Flour is all-purpose, unless stated otherwise, sifted or not.I use a hand whisk for mixing dry ing.
Oh yes, ingredient is always ing., teaspoon is always tsp., tablespoon is always T., cup is always c., and temperature is always temp., etc., etc.

Any questions I find will be addressed at the end.
