seed-cakes were concocted by a rule not unlike the following, which calls for cheap materials and produces a re- sult likely to please a Jamieson palate : Mix a quart of flour with half a pound of sugar and a quarter of an ounce of allspice; melt three-quarters of a pound of butter with half a pint of warm milk ; add while warm a quarter of a yeast- cake and work up to a smooth dough, mixing into it a cupful of cleaned cur- rants and half a cupful of caraway-seeds
Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
