You must take a quarter of a peck of fine flour, a pound and a half of butter, three ounces of carraway seeds, five eggs beat well, a quarter of an ounce of cloves and mace beat together very fine, a pennyworth of cinnamon beat, a pound of sugar, a pennyworth of rose water, a pennyworth of saffron, a pint and a half of yeast, and a quart of milk; mix it all together lightly with your hands thus: first boil your milk and butter, then scum off the butter, and mix it with your flour and a little of the milk; stir the yeast into the rest and strain it, mix it with the flour, put in your seeds and spices, rose water, tincture of saffron, sugar and eggs; beat it all up well with your hands lightly, and bake it in a hoop or pan, but be sure to butter the pan well. It will take an hour and a half in a quick oven. You may leave out the seeds if you choose it, and I think it rather better without it, but that you must do as you like.
