1 One half pound Plain flour
3 teaspoon Baking powder
6 ounce Lard
6 ounce Margarine
8 ounce Golden syrup
8 ounce Sugar
Salt
Milk as necessary

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 refered to as
Muge and later Muga. In it's ealiest form, it was probably made with yeast
and honey instead of baking powder and syrup/sugar.
