Units: US Metric
  • 240 ml sugar
  • 1/3 cupful of butter

  • 1/2 gill of milk

Make it lactose-friendly
  • 1/3 cupful of butter → plant butter, ghee (mostly lactose-free), or olive oil
  • 1/2 gill of milk → lactose-free milk, oat milk, or almond milk

Swaps are suggestions, not medical advice. Check labels if lactose is a serious issue for you.

Steps

  1. Beat the butter to a cream, and gradually beat the sugar into it. Beat the eggs separately, and add to the sugar and butter. Dissolve the soda in the milk, and stir into the mixture. Now add the flour, in which the cream of tartar should be mixed. Flavor with any spice or extract you like, or with the grated yellow rind of a lemon and one tablespoonful of the juice. Pour the batter into a buttered pan, and bake in a moderate oven for forty-five minutes, if in a deep loaf; but if in a sheet, thirty minutes’ time will be enough.
