Fine Crisp Cakes Recipe

Recipe by: Jenna Arden

"This recipe was recreated from the Elizabethan era with ingredients from today. It tastes so good."

Directions

1Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2Beat butter in a bowl until creamy; add sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk.
3Whisk flour, allspice, and turmeric together in a bowl. Sift flour mixture into butter mixture and stir until dough is combined. Press dough into a 9-inch square baking dish. Beat egg white in a small bowl and brush dough with egg white.
4Bake in the preheated oven until cake feels firm when lightly pressed in the center, 30 to 45 minutes. Cut into squares while cake is still hot; cool in baking dish.
