salt. Butter a dish or pan, and bake it slowly for an hour. An oval-shaped dish
is best to bake in.
BATH CAKE.
Take one pound and a quarter of good, moist sugar, roll it fine, put in a pan,
with three-quarters of a pint of water; let it stand all night. Rub three ounces
of butter into four pounds and a half of flour; make a hole, and pour in your
sugar, with half a pint of honey-water; rub it out thin, cut out, and place them
on buttered tins, and bake in a quick oven.
QUEEN'S DROPS.
Prepare your mixture, the same as for pound cakes, but add about two ounces more
of flour, one pound and a half of currants; drop them on whited, brown paper, in
drops about the size of a large nutmeg, about two inches from each other; put
your sheets on tins, and bake them in a steady oven.
SEED CAKE.
Three eggs, one cup of butter, two of white sugar, and two of flour; add half a
cup of coriander seeds; roll it out with sugar, instead of flour. Bake it in a
quarter of an hour.
QUINCE PUDDING.
Stew and sift eight quinces; add half a pound of sugar, six eggs, a pint of
cream, and a little cinnamon. Bake in a dish, lined with paste; let it bake an
hour and a half.
