bread).

The ingredients are; 3lb. flour, lb. Jard, lb. brown sugar, 1lb, sultanas, 1lb. cur- rants, 2oz. candied peel, 1oz. yeast, 1 teaspoonful salt, teaspoonful nutmeg, 3 eggs and warm! milk to mix.

Put flour into a basin and rub in the lard, then add all the dry ingredients. Put the yeast, a little suger und à tablespoonful of warm milk in a small bowl and stand in a warm place for a few minutes to dissolve. Add to the dry in- gredients together with the well-beaten eggs and suflicient warm milk to make'a soft dough.

Cover and put in a warm place to rise for about two hours. When risen sufficiently, put into two well-greased tins and let it rise for an- other half hour in a warm place. Bake in a hot oven for twenty minutes, then lower the heat and bake for two hours.

My Own Idea

I myself would make this bread in the usual method for currant bread mixtures, namely, after dissolving the yeast and sugar in warm milk, add a third of the flour and enough warm milk to make a loose batter (between and 1 pint milk), beat it well and stand it in a warm place for an hour to rise. Then I would add the melted (but cool) lard, mix it well in, then the remaining flour, kneading all lightly together. Add the fruit and, finally, the beaten eggs. I have always found that this method makes a better-textured "yeast" cake.
