Gingerbread No 3 Recipe

Two pounds of flour, two ounces of caraway seeds, one tea-spoonful of

powdered ginger, half a spoonful of allspice, and the same of pearl-ash,

two ounces of preserved orange, the same of lemon-peel, and half a pound

of butter; mix these ingredients well together, and make it into a stiff

paste with treacle, as stiff as you would make paste for a tart; then

put it before the fire to rise for one hour, after which you may roll it

out, and cut it into cakes, or mould it, as you like.
