To make fine Cakes
Take a quantity of fine wheate Flower, and put it in an earthen pot. Stop it
close and set it in an Oven, and bake it as long as you would a Pasty of
Venison, and when it is baked it will be full of clods. Then searce your
flower through a fine sercer. Then take clouted Creame or sweet butter, but
Creame is best: then take sugar, cloves, Mace, saffron and yolks of eggs, so
much as wil seeme to season your flower. Then put these things into the
Creame, temper all together. Then put thereto your flower. So make your
cakes. The paste will be very short; therefore make them very little. Lay
paper under them.
Walk in peace,
Wolfmother
