Take a quart of strained honey, half a pound of fresh butter, and
a small tea-spoonful of pearl-ash dissolved in a wine glass of
water. Add by degrees as much sifted flour as will make a stiff
paste. Work the whole well together. Roll it out about half an
inch thick. Cut it into cakes with the edge of a tumbler or with a
tin-cake cutter. Lay them on buttered tins and bake them with
rather a brisk fire, but see that they do not burn.
