Half a pound of sugar, a quarter of a pound of butter, a couple of eggs,
half a nutmeg, a tea-spoonful of saleratus, half a tea-cup of milk. Stir
the butter and sugar together, then add the eggs and a little flour,
stir in the milk and saleratus, which should be previously strained,
then add enough flour to make it stiff enough to roll out--roll it out
half an inch thick, in pounded white sugar, cut it with a tumbler into
cakes, and bake them on flat buttered tins.
