Ingredients

Units: US Metric
  • 1/2 pint of molasses
  • 1 gill of sour milk
  • 2 heaped tablespoonfuls butter
  • 1 pint of flour, _scant_ measure
  • 1 teaspoonful of soda
  • 1 teaspoonful of ginger
  • 1 egg
Make it lactose-friendly
  • 1 gill of sour milk → lactose-free milk, oat milk, or almond milk
  • 2 heaped tablespoonfuls butter → plant butter, ghee (mostly lactose-free), or olive oil

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

Steps

  1. Put the molasses and butter in a tin pan and set on the stove. When the mixture boils up, add the soda and ginger, and take from the fire immediately. Add the milk, the egg well beaten, and the flour, and beat well. This will fill three round deep plates, or one shallow cake pan and a plate. Bake in rather a quick oven for twenty minutes.
