Treacle, Salt, Ginger in Powder, mixed in two gallons of water in any pan or vessel with, or without a cover - baked 2 1/4 hours when the Bread is drawn, will produce 10 lbs. of solid palatable pudding - If the Rice is first simmered over the fire till it absorbs the water, it will mix better - but this is not absolutely necessary - & may be inconvenient. -
