One cupful of bread-dough which has had the second rising. One-half cupful of butter, or cottolene, melted ; one egg; one-half teaspoonful of soda dissolved in a little milk ; one-half teaspoon-ful of cinnamon and half as much nutmeg; one-half cupful of seeded and chopped raisins dredged with flour; one-half cupful of brown sugar.

Cream butter and shortening, beat in the egg, and work these into the risen dough; next the spices, the soda, and lastly, the fruit. Knead for two minutes, make into a loaf or into rolls, let them stand for half an hour, and bake in a moderate oven.

This is a Lancashire recipe.
