Mix salt, soda, and cream-tartar with flour and meal, according to the rule already given. Cream the butter. Beat sugar and eggs together. Add all to the mixture. Lastly, stir in the milk, and beat the whole a few minutes. "This loaf is best when baked in round sheet-iron pans that are four inches deep. The loaf should be that thickness when baked. When served cut it pie-fashion if baked in round pans."
