10 oz flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp mixed spice *
1/2 tsp ginger, ground
4 oz sugar, brown, light
2 oz citron, candied, chopped
6 oz raisins, plain or golden
4 oz butter
6 oz golden syrup **
1 large egg, beaten
4 tbsp milk


Directions

* Equal parts of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.

** Lyons' Golden Syrup, carried in some fancy groceries. If you can't
find it, use Karo light corn syrup.

Sift the flour with the soda and baking powder, and the mixed spice
and ginger: then add the brown sugar, chopped peel and raisins: mix.
Make a well in the center. Melt the butter with the syrup over low
heat, then pour into the well in the mixture. Add the beaten egg and
milk and mix very well. Pour into a greased 2-lb loaf pan and bake
in a preheated oven at 325 F for 40-50 minutes, or until it tests

improves somewhat during this period.

The History of Recipes

Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced way back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.

As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were some books dating from the 1300s : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are not about the indian food that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared for the rich and wealthy people of the period.

In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created a torrent in publications on food, most of which still exist in private libraries.

The arrival of TV brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading.
