SODA CAKES (another way)

Take six ounces of butter, and mix with it one pound of flour; work it into small crumbs. Mix with these half a pound of sugar, half a pint of boiling milk, three eggs, a little grated nutmeg, and eight ounces of currants. Beat the whole well and lightly together; then strew over it a very small tea-spoonful of finely-powdered carbonate of soda. Beat the cake again for three or four minutes, and then bake it from one hour to an hour and a half.
