Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
10 oz Flour
2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Baking soda
1 t Mixed spice *
1/2 ts Ginger, ground
4 oz Sugar, brown, light
2 oz Citron, candied -- chopped
6 oz Raisins, plain or golden
4 oz Butter
6 oz Golden syrup **
1 lg Egg -- beaten
4 tb Milk

* Equal parts of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.

** Lyons' Golden Syrup, carried in some fancy
groceries. If you can't
find it, use Karo light corn syrup.

Sift the flour with the soda and baking powder, and
the mixed spice and ginger: then add the brown sugar,
chopped peel and raisins: mix. Make a well in the
center. Melt the butter with the syrup over low heat,
then pour into the well in the mixture. Add the
beaten egg and milk and mix very well. Pour into a
greased 2-lb loaf pan and bake in a preheated oven at
325 F for 40-50 minutes, or until it tests done. This
bread will keep moist for several days, and actually
improves somewhat during this period.
