Irish.
—1lb. of flour, 1oz. of butter, a piece of lard the size of a walnut, sugar to taste, and just enough milk beaten up with two eggs to make it all into a nice dough (one and a half teaspoonfuls of baking powder should be sifted in among the flour); the cakes should be mixed quickly, made into the size and shape of a muffin, baked sixteen minutes in a quick oven, and turned occasionally, as they burn very quickly. Split, butter, and serve very hot.
