Ingredients
- a pound of sifted flour
- a pound of fresh butter
- a pint of strained honey
- two large table-spoonfuls of strong ginger
- two table-spoonfuls of carraway seeds
- five eggs
Directions
Rub together a pound of sifted flour and three-quarters of a pound of fresh butter. Mix in, a tea-cup of fine brown sugar, two large table-spoonfuls of strong ginger, and (If you like them) two table-spoonfuls of carraway seeds. Having beaten five eggs, add them to the mixture alternately with a pint of strained honey; stirring in towards the last a small tea-spoonful of pearl-ash, that has been melted in a very little water.
Having beaten or stirred the mixture long enough to make it perfectly light, transfer it to a square iron or block-tin pan, (which must be well buttered,) put it into a moderate oven, and bake it an hour or more, in proportion to its thickness.
When cool, cut it into squares. It is best if eaten fresh, but it will keep very well a week.
