Ingredients

  • one pint milk
  • one teaspoon ful of royal baking powder
  • three eggs

Directions

1

Take light dough, roll it about an inch thick, stick raisins over it. Make a mixture of cinnamon, butter and sugar, and spread in a thin layer over the dough. Note. — I generally set the dough to rise after rolling and placing in the pans, then cover with the raisins and the mixture. Put it in the stove and bake as bread. Cut into squares. Very nice.

2

One pint milk, three eggs, a little salt. Make a batter about as thick as sponge cake batter, with flour. Beat the whites very light. This cake is to be baked as muffins for breakfast. One teaspoon ful of Royal Baking Powder.
