Cakes, Sly.—Roll out any pieces and trimmings of pastry left after apple pie or tart making; cover with tiny dabs of butter, clarified dripping, or beef marrow; fold it and roll it out again, keeping it as even and square as you can. Have ready some currants or sultanas previously marinaded for an hour or so in wine or liqueur (rum is the proper thing, and only a very little spirit of any kind is needed, as a tablespoonful is enough for 4oz. or 5oz. of fruit); cover half the paste with these, dusting them as you do so with sugar and a little powdered spice to taste; then cover with the rest of the paste, pressing the two sheets well together; stamp them out in rounds, etc., and bake in a hot oven. Eat plain or buttered, hot or cold.
