Ingredients
- one cup butter
- one cupful molasses
- one cupful sour milk
- one teaspoonful soda
- quarter cup shredded citron
- three well beaten eggs
- cinnamon
- cloves
Directions
Beat to a cream one cup butter and two of sugar. Add one cupful molasses, one cupful sour milk, one teaspoonful soda and stir until the mixture stops "purring." Add three well beaten eggs, a teaspoonful each of cinnamon, cloves and nut- meg, a quarter cup shredded citron or preserved watermelon rind, and a cup each of seeded raisins and currants well dredged with flour. Add sifted flour to make rather stiff, turn into tube tins lined with buttered paper and bake in a slow oven. — Mrs. M. S. Carpenter, Hackensack, N. J.
