   Beat the butter to cream, adding the sugar and mace; when sufficiently beaten to form a smooth light cream, add, by degrees, the eggs and the flour; beat it a quarter of an hour, and put it in hoops to bake, or in two earthenware baking-pans, lined with buttered paper, and bake in a rather quick oven.
