SHENSTONE.



To three quarters of a pound of treacle, beat one egg strained; mix four

ounces of brown sugar, half an ounce of ginger sifted, of cloves, mace,

allspice, and nutmeg, a quarter of an ounce; beat all as fine as

possible; melt one pound of butter, and mix with the above: add as much

flour as will knead it into a pretty stiff paste; roll it out, and cut

it in cakes.
