Oatmeal Cakes
1 lb. of oatmeal,
2 oz. of butter or oil (1 tablespoonful of oil is 1 oz.),
cold milk.
Make a dough of the butter, meal, and milk; shake meal
plentifully on the board, turn the dough on to it, and having
sprinkled this too with meal, work it a little with the backs
of your fingers. Roll the dough out to the thickness of a crown
piece, cut it in shapes, put the cakes on a hot stove, and when
they are a little brown on the underside, take them off and
place them on a hanger in front of the fire in order to brown
the upper side; when this is done they are ready for use.
