Lardy Cake
"This recipe has been in my family for at least 4 generations, since at least the 1870s. It is recommended that it be served hot, with real butter. The amount of honey is a guess - the original recipe said "Honey to drizzle" but didn't give a quantity."

<p>I'm a WAHM, with an 11 yr old boy. The crockpot is my friend. I'm interested in historical European cooking and illusion foods, while my husband is a very Meat & Taters man (who is at least open to different things). <br /> <br />Great googly moogly! Chef of the day?! WOOHOO! :D</p>
