Queen Cakes

Oven, in the book's wordsA brisk oven

Ingredients

1 pound currants
small well-buttered tin pans
coarse sea salt (formerly 'bay salt')

Directions

The book says “a brisk oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

Prepare the mixture as for pound currant-cake.
Bake in small, well-buttered tin pans (heart-shaped preferred) in a brisk oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).
