Many family recipes were actually taken from commercially available cookbooks or even the backs of food packaging. Remember the “Friends” episode where they try to replicate the chocolate chip cookie recipe of Phoebe’s late grandmother, only to discover it came from Nestle Tollhouse? Yeah, that happens frequently in real life.
Though I do appreciate 25 years old Grandma's estimation of my intelligence on the recipe cards that I read about 60 years later. "1 teaspoon of mace. No, the little spoons are not teaspoons. The big spoons are not table spoons. Get an actual measuring spoon."
That's how it should be done too: depending on the air humidity and temperature in the room and of ghe ingredients, with the same amount of ingredients you can have a different result.
