1 tsp mixed spice *
1/2 tsp ginger, ground

2 oz citron, candied, chopped

1 large egg, beaten
4 tbsp milk

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
