Method

1. 1

   Mix all together with flour enough to make a batter as thick as pound-cake batter (a quart will be about the quantity); bake for an hour in a batter-pan, having previously lined the bottom with a well-greased paper, especial care being needed to prevent burning; turn it out on a flat dessert-dish; grate sugar over it, and eat it with liquid sauce.
