Directions
Half pound of flour, half pound of the coarsest brown sugar, quarter pound of butter, one dessertspoonful of allspice, two dessertspoonfuls of ground ginger, the peel of half a lemon grated, and the whole of the juice; mix all these ingredients together, adding about half a pound of treacle so as to make a paste sufficiently thin to spread upon sheet tins. Beat well, butter the tins, and spread the paste very thinly over them, bake it in a rather slow oven, and watch it till it is done ; withdraw the tins, cut it in squares with a knife to the usual size of wafer biscuits (about four inches square), and roll each piece round the fingers as it is raised from the tin.
