Ingredients

• two cupfuls rice
• a little salt

Method

• Boil the rice in salted water until soft and fluffy.
• Rub the fat into the flour and then work in the rice and the other dry ingredients.
• Finally add the eggs and a little milk to give a lighter batter consistency.
• Then pour the batter into a greased shallow tin and bake in a fairly hot oven.
• Alternatively place in a low position under a hot grill.
• Traditionally this cake was baked in a Dutch oven in front of an open fire.
