Christmas Cake

Rub a quarter of a pound of butter, or butter and lard mixed, into a pound of finely-sifted flour, into which have been mixed a teaspoonful of baking powder and a pinch of salt; when the fat has all been thoroughly worked in add half a pound each of well-washed dried currants and mixed candied peel and a quarter of a pound of moist sugar, together with half a teaspoonful of mixed spice. Form into dough with water and place in a greased cake-tin, baking in a moderately hot oven.
