Vanilla
Salt
Two cups of sugar, one cup of butter, one cup of sweet milk, three cups of flour, one pound of sliced figs, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, eight eggs (whites only); flavor with vanilla, a little salt. Take some of the flour to sprinkle over the figs. Mix butter and sugar together, add the milk, then the flour, in which sift the baking powder, then the whites beaten stiff, then the figs and vanilla.
Did we eat it? Yes
Would I make it again? Yes
Notes: I used less sugar. I find many of the old recipes are much too sweet.
