Luncheon Cake Made from Dough

Take two pounds of dough just ready for the oven, rub into it two ounces of fresh butter, a quarter of a pound of currants, washed, picked, and dried thoroughly, half a pound of moist sugar, and half a large nutmeg, grated, with a little sliced candied lemon, if liked. These ingredients should be rubbed into the dough very lightly. Put the mixture into a basin, cover it with a cloth, and let it stand in a warm place to rise. Then knead the dough, butter some tins, three-parts fill them with the cake, let it again rise for a few minutes, and bake in a moderate oven. If bread is not made at home, a little dough may be procured from the baker's. Time to bake, about an hour and a half. Probable cost, 1s.
