GINGERBREAD LEEK (excellent)

Mix thoroughly, one ounce and a half of ginger in one pound and a half of flour; add one pound and a quarter of sugar, and two ounces of candied peel, cut very fine. Melt together half a pound of butter, and a quarter of a pound of the best treacle. Stir these into the flour, etc., flavour with three drops of essence of lemon, or more, if liked, and make the mixture into a smooth, firm paste, with three eggs, well beaten. Roll out on a floured board, and cut the paste into fingers. Bake in a good oven for ten minutes. Store in a closely-covered tin box. Probable cost, 2s. for this quantity.
