Scrap Cakes. — Take the scraps which remain after melting down a pound of leaf or flead. Put these into a bowl, slice them, and rub them into three-quarters of a pound of flour. Add a pinch of salt, four ounces of picked and di-ied currants, two table-si^oonfuls of moist sugar, half an ounce of candied peel finely minced, and a little grated nutmeg. Mix the ingredients thoroughly, and moisten them with as much cold water as will make a light paste

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
