Recipe was taken from Betty Homes And Garden New CookBook the Third Edition 1970, the chapter on “Yeast Rolls, Coffee Cakes”, page 46. 

In this particular recipe there was 1¾ cups of sifted all-purpose flour and 1½ cups of whole wheat flour.  Reason being is that, I didn’t have enough of all-purpose flour, therefore, I used whole wheat to make up for the all-purpose flour.
