Canadian Cakes

Mix thoroughly one pound of the best flour, a quarter of a pound of maizena, three-quarters of a pound of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Rub in three-quarters of a pound of butter, and add eight eggs well beaten, half an ounce of candied peel chopped very small, a wine-glassful of brandy, and half a pound of currants. Beat these ingredients well together, and put the mixture into shallow tins, which must be lined with paper dipped in oil or butter, and bake in a good oven. Time to bake, half an hour. Probable cost, 2s. 6d. Sufficient for four cakes.
