10 oz Flour
4 oz Lard
3 oz Sugar
Egg
1/2 ts Bicarbonate
1 ts Treacle
Pinch mixed spice and ginger
4 oz Dried fruit
1 c Milk
Pinch salt
Cream the sugar and fat. Mix in the egg and add the
remainder of the ingredients, having desolved the
bicarbonate in the milk. Bake in a greased tin for
about 3/4 hour in a moderately hot oven. Gas control,
Gas MArk 5 (375F). Alternate:
3 teacupsful of flour; 1 teacupful of butter; 1
teacupful of sugar; 2 teaspoonful of baking powder; 2
eggs; milk to mix; a little dried fruit. Rub the
butter into the flour, add sugar, baking powder and
well beaten eggs and milk if necessary - it must be
kept fairly stiff. This mixture is enough to fill two
sandwich tins. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Cut in half,
spread with butter and eat hot. Oven control, Gas
Mark 5 (375F).
