Browned butter and toasted pecans are two extra pans that no printed recipe bothers with, and handwriting is where instructions like that survive. Nine amounts in sepia down the column, the two hours noted under the double red margin, tape at the top and a corner that has been folded over.

What this style does
A real school notebook: ruled squares across the page, a double red margin, binder holes, a dog-eared corner, a piece of tape, a grease spot. The title, the headings and the amounts are written by hand.
Schoolbook cream, pale blue rules, red margin, sepia ink. A running hand for the title, a reading serif for the text. The object it imitates is a school notebook written on the kitchen table.
Who it is for
The recipe that already lives on a scrap of paper, grandmothers, kitchens where nothing gets thrown away.
What is in it
1 pie crust, 2 cups pecan halves, 3 eggs, 1 cup dark brown sugar, 1 cup corn syrup, 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 2 tbsp bourbon, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp salt.
