No eggs required nor milk. 2 cups water - a pint.

1 cup vinegar.

2 cups brown sugar - a pound. 1 ounce butter - small egg size. 1 cup flour - 4 ounces.

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.

Boil the water, vinegar and butter together. Mix sugar, flour and cinnamon together dry and dredge them into the boiling liquid, beating at the same time. Take it on the fire as soon as partly thickened, before it boils. It will finish cooking in the pies. Bake with both a bottom and top crust rolled very thin. It is necessary to be particular to get just the right proportion of flour.
