Dissolve a tea-spoonful of saleratus in a wine glass of wine, or
milk--strain it on to three tea-cups of raised dough. Work into the
dough a tea-cup of lukewarm melted butter, two tea-cups of rolled sugar,
three eggs well beaten, and a couple of tea-spoonsful of cinnamon. Work
the whole well together for a quarter of an hour, then put it into cake
pans. Let it stand in a warm place fifteen or twenty minutes, before
baking it.
