10 oz Flour 1 t Treacle
4 oz Lard 1 x Pinch mixed spice and ginger
3 oz Sugar 4 oz Dried fruit

Cream the sugar and fat. Mix in the egg and add the remainder of the
ingredients, having desolved the bicarbonate in the milk. Bake in a
greased tin for about 3/4 hour in a moderately hot oven. Gas control,
Gas MArk 5 (375F). Alternate: 3 teacupsful of flour; 1 teacupful of
butter; 1 teacupful of sugar; 2 teaspoonful of baking powder; 2 eggs;
milk to mix; a little dried fruit. Rub the butter into the flour, add
sugar, baking powder and well beaten eggs and milk if necessary – it
must be kept fairly stiff. This mixture is enough to fill two
sandwich tins. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Cut in half, spread with
butter and eat hot. Oven control, Gas Mark 5 (375F). Croeso Cymreig.
