INSTRUCTIONS
Boil sugar, water, lard, raisins, salt and spices 5 minutes. Let cool, then
add baking soda and flour mixtures. Mix thoroughly (batter should be quite
stiff). Add chopped nuts. Pour into greased and floured rectangular or
square pans and decorate with nuts. Bake in preheated 350 °F oven 30 to 35
minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
I usually omit the half or whole nuts and just lightly dust the top with
powdered sugar.
