alternately, with the flour. Add, gradually, the milk, and stir
the whole very hard.

Butter a large tin pan, and put in the mixture. Bake it two hours
or more, in a moderate oven. If not thick, an hour or an hour and
a half will be sufficient.

Wrap it in a thick cloth, and keep it from the air, and it will
continue moist and fresh for two weeks. The pearl-ash will give it
a dark colour.

It will be much improved by a pound of raisins, stoned and cut in
half, and a pound of currants, well washed and dried.

Flour the fruit well, and stir it in at the last.
