Athole Cakes (very Good)

Mix two table-spoonfuls of finely-sifted sugar, with half a pound of maize-meal, and a heaped tea-spoonful of the best baking-powder. Shred finely the thin rind of a lemon and a small piece of candied peel. Stir in another bowl six ounces of butter to a cream, mix with it the above ingredients, and last of all, add two well-beaten eggs. Well oil patty-pans, put a piece about the size of a walnut into each, and bake in a good oven for five or six minutes. Probable cost, 1s. Sufficient for two dozen cakes.
