Dissolve a tea-spoonful of saleratus in a wine glass of milk, strain it
on to a little sifted flour, beat three eggs with a tea-cup of rolled
sugar, mix them with the above ingredients, together with half a grated
nutmeg. Add a tea-cup of thick cream, and sifted flour to render it of
the consistency of unbaked pound cake. Bake it as soon as the cream and
flour are well mixed in, as stirring the cream much decomposes it.
