  ((*Note:  The German original used the '#' for pound.  Some of the recipes
  from this source were in German, some in a mixture of German and English.
  Since this particular recipe was all in German, I assume it refers to
  German pounds.  A german pound - 500 grams - is slightly larger than the
  American pound - 454 grams.  K.B.))
