A treacle tart? You ask my aid?
Six ounces flour first persuade
Into a pipkin, pan or pot;
A little baking-powder—not
Too much; two ounces, nicely weighed,
Of lard and butter (finest grade).
With these and water paste is made:
Your hands to mix the gods allot
A treacle tart.

Roll out with bread-crumbs lightly sprayed,
Then treacle generously laid
And scalloped edges not forgot.
An oven moderately hot.
With these instructions well obeyed
There stands before your eyes displayed,
A treacle tart!
