From the blue and orange box, this recipe isn’t exactly the same as what is on the Albers box today but it’s very similar. I recently ran out and haven’t replaced the box for comparison’s sake, but from the Albers website it seems the main differences are the modern amount of baking powder has been reduced, and the shortening has been replaced by oil.
