Fadge. — Mix together 2oz. each of rye and ordinary brown flour, with a saltspoonful of salt ; work into this 3oz. of butter and enough milk (about a gill) to get it all to a stiff paste. Bake for about an hour on the girdle or on the hot plate, but never in the oven. This must not be over-cooked or it will become a kind of piecrust. Another way is to dissolve 3oz. of butter over the fire in half a pint of milk
