Sponge Cheesecakes

Crumble two ounces of stale spongecake, and soak it in a table-spoonful of milk; then beat together two ounces of sugar and one and a half ounces of butter for a few minutes; add a beaten egg and beat up again; then add the cake dissolved in milk, and a little lemon juice or other flavouring; lastly, add half a tea-spoonful of baking powder. Make a good short paste and line some patty-pans with it. Three-parts fill them with the mixture to give it space to rise. Some currants may be sprinkled on top. Bake in a brisk oven until nicely browned.
