flour, and two lemon-peels, grated. Butter the moulds, and bake them an hour, in
a pretty quick oven.
GINGERBREAD.
Mix three pounds of flour with four ounces of brown sugar, half an ounce of
powdered ginger, and a pound and a quarter of warm molasses. Melt half a pound
of fresh butter, and pour it in; work it all up together and bake.
PLAIN POUND CAKE.
Cream a pound of fresh butter, and work into it a pound of crushed sugar, till
quite smooth; beat nine eggs, the whites and yolks separately, and add them by
degrees to the butter and sugar, and beat them together twenty minutes; then
beat in, gradually, one pound of flour. Put it in a mould, and bake in a
moderate oven one hour.
Plum cake is made as the foregoing, only, after you have beaten it sufficiently,
you add two pounds of raisins, stoned, and one pound of currants.
RICE CAKE.

sugar, half a pound of ground rice, a little brandy, two lemon-peels, grated,
the whites of seven eggs, beaten to a stiff froth, and stir the whole together
for a quarter of an hour. Put it in a mould, and bake it in a quick oven half an
hour.
