Grate a nutmeg, or use half a teaspoonful of powdered mace, mixing it with an even tablespoonful of salt, and an even saltspoonful of cayenne pepper.

Add three well-beaten eggs, a teacupful of milk, and a large spoonful of melted butter.

Mix the ingredients very thoroughly; form into a loaf; cover thickly with sifted bread or cracker crumbs, and bake three hours, basting now and then with a little butter and water.

When cold, cut in thin slices, and use for breakfast or tea.

It is good for breakfast with baked potatoes, and slices of it are sometimes served around a salad.
