Jelly Roll (1870)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

  I was asked by the "spacemen took our maize and hid the evidence" guy if I
could beat 1895 for "jelly roll."
  I had already posted an 1871 "jelly roll" recipe in the ADS-L archives.
I'll now do better than that.
  Keep in mind that some "jelly cake" recipes might actually be "jelly
rolls."

   Beat three eggs with one cup of sugar, two tablespoonfuls sweet milk or
water, one and a half cups of flour, with one teaspoonful of cream tartar and
one and a half of soda sifted in it.  Mix in a dough, spread it with jelly and
roll it up, cut it in pieces an inch thick and bake, or bake it in one and then
divide.  Cream can be used instead of jelly for breakfast or tea.
