Grandmother's Little Feather Cake
1 cup of sugar.
2 tablespoonfuls soft butter.
1 egg.
1/2 cup milk and water mixed.
1 1/2 cups sifted flour.
1 teaspoonful baking-powder.
Rub the butter and sugar to a cream.
Beat the yolk of the egg stiff and put that in; then add part of the milk
and water, and part of the flour and baking-powder, which has been sifted
together; next the vanilla, and last the stiff whites of the eggs, not
stirred in, but just lightly folded in. If you put them in heavily and
roughly, cake will always be heavy.
Bake this in a buttered biscuit-tin, and cut in squares when cold.
It is nice covered with caramel or chocolate frosting.
