GINGERBREAD LOAF (plain)

Put two pounds of treacle into a jar near the fire, with two ounces of butter, a quarter of an ounce of carbonate of soda, previously dissolved in a very little milk, and strained, and four ounces of moist sugar. Mix an ounce of powdered ginger, and one small nutmeg grated, with about three pounds of flour. When the butter is melted, stir the treacle into the flour, and water to moisten it, and bake in a well-buttered, shallow tin, in a slow oven, for one hour and a half. Probable cost, 1s. 2d.
