Seed Cake

394. Half a pound of butter,
Three tea cups of sugar,
One pound of flour,
One tea spoonful of carraway seed,
Half a table spoonful of salæratus,
As much milk as will form a dough.

Rub the butter in the flour and sugar, then add the seed, salæratus, and milk.

Knead the dough till it is smooth. Roll it out, cut it in cakes, and bake them in a moderately hot oven.
