Ingredients:
½ lb of flour
5 oz of soft, brown sugar
2 oz of butter
3 tablespoons of treacle
1 egg
1 teaspoon of carbonate of soda
2 teaspoons of ground ginger
A pinch of cinnamon
1/3 of a pint of milk
Method:
Melt the butter, treacle and sugar in a large pan. When the sugar is dissolved, stir in the flour, spices, carbonate of soda and milk and mix well.
Beat the egg and add it last of all to give a glossy crust.
Pour the mixture into a large, flat oven tin and bake for 1 hour in a moderate oven. Serve hot with custard or cold with stewed rhubarb.
