With Raisins
1 1/2 pounds of flour. 3 quarts of milk or water. 4 large basting-spoons of butter, melted. 2 large basting spoons of golden syrup. 12 eggs. Salt. 1 teaspoonful of baking powder. 1 pound of seedless raisins. Mix up as you would batter cakes, wetting the flour gradually to have no lumps; the milk tepid, the butter melted, the eggs well beaten and powder and syrup last. Pour into 2 buttered pans made warm an inch deep, and sprinkle the raisins all over. Bake about 20 minutes, or till light brown. Serve in squares with lemon syrup or any pudding sauce.
