Mix thoroughly a tea-cup and a half of sugar, half a tea-cup of butter,
stir in a little flour, and half a nutmeg. Dissolve a tea-spoonful of
saleratus in a tea-cup of milk, strain and mix it with the cake--add
flour till stiff enough to roll out--roll it out half an inch thick, cut
it into cakes, bake them on flat buttered tins, in a quick oven. If
baked slow, they will not be good.
