One and a half cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of sour milk, two eggs,
two scant tablespoonfuls of melted butter, half a nutmeg grated, a large
teaspoonful of cinnamon, a teaspoonful of salt and one of soda; make a
little stiffer than BISCUIT dough, roll out a quarter of an inch thick,
and cut with a fried-CAKE cutter, with a hole in the centre. Fry in hot
lard.
These can be made with sweet milk and baking powder, using two heaping teaspoonfuls of the baking powder in place of soda.
