highlyeccentricI have just discovered
a) the existence of the New Zealand Electronic Text Centre
and
b) that they have a transcription and electronic facsimile of the 1914 edition of the 'Sure to Rise' Coookbook, issued by the Edmond's baking powder company.
It's not the earliest edition, but it's early enough to be deeply entertaining. What is the usual way to bake chelsea buns? I don't know, and they're not telling me. Does the custard love the cup? How much is a teacup of sugar? (I don't know, but a teacup of milk = 1 gill) And Was this stuff as unappealing as it sounds?
