Seven pounds of flour, three pounds of sugar, three pounds of butter, three pounds of raisins, thirteen eggs, one pint of yeast, and a pint of milk, to make it a little thicker than pancake batter. Beat the eggs but little, warm the milk and put one-half the sugar in over night and let it sponge; rub the butter and flour together; mix and let rise.
