Two pounds and a half of flour, three quarters of a pound of gar, three-quarters of a pound of butter, half a pound of currants, or quarter of a pound of raisins, quarter of a pound of orange peel, two ounces of carraway seeds, hall an ounce of ground cinna-mon, or ginger, four tea-spoonfuls of carbonate of soda; mixed well, with rather better than a pint of new milk. The butter must be well melted previous to being mixed with the ingredients.

70. "Jersey Wonders."- The eddity of these "wonders" consists solely in the manner of cooking, and the shape consequent. Take two pounds of flour, six ounces of butter, six ounces of white sugar, a little nut-meg, ground ginger, and lemon peel; beat eight eggs, and knead them all well together; a taste of brandy will be an improvement. Roll them about the thickness of your wrist; cut off a small slice, and roll it into an oval, about four inches long and three inches wide, not too thin; cut two slits in it, but not through either end; there will then be three bands. Pass the left one through the aperture, to the right, and throw it into a brass or bell-metal skillet of boiling lard, or beef or mutton dripping. You may cook three or four at a time. In about two minutes turn them with a fork, and you will find them browned, and swollen or risen in two or three minutes more. Remove them from the pan to a dish, when they will dry and cool.
