Gingerbread No 4 Recipe

Take a pound of treacle and half a pound of butter; melt them together

over a fire; have ready a pound and a half of flour well dried, into

which put at least half an ounce of ginger well beaten and sifted, as

many coriander seeds, half a pound of sugar, a little brandy, and some

candied orange-peel; then mix the warm treacle and butter with the

flour; make it into flat cakes, and bake it upon tins.
