You must take half a peck of flour, a pound and a half of butter, put it in a saucepan with a pint of new milk, set it on the fire, take a pound of sugar, half an ounce of all-spice beat fine, and mix them with the flour. When the butter is melted, pour the milk and butter in the middle of the flour, and work it up like paste. Pour in with fine milk till a pint of good ale yeast; set it before the fire to rise, just before it goes to the oven. Butter, put in some currants or carraway-seeds, and bake it in a quick oven. Make it into two cakes. They will take an hour and a half baking.
