Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs	681g / 24oz	Plain flour
3 teaspoons	15ml	Baking powder
6 oz	170g	Lard
6 oz	170g	Margarine
8 oz	227g	Golden syrup
8 oz	227g	Sugar
1		Salt
1		Milk as necessary

Recipe Instructions

Mix together the flour, salt and baking powder. Rub in the fats, add the sugar and syrup. Mix to a stiff dough with milk. Shape into two pieces 1" thick . Place on a greased baking tin and bake in a moderate oven for about 25 minutes, until firm and light brown. Cut and serve thickly buttered.

Remarks: This recipe can be found in many very old books, and may have come form the Old Norse language, where a heap of corn was known as Mugi. The word can be traced back through early English, where corn was referred to as Muge and later Muga.

In it's earliest form, it was probably made with yeast and honey instead of baking powder and syrup/sugar.
