Do make these at home! Keep an open mind as these are from 1796, a time before the use of baking powder. Cakes of the 18th and early 19th centuries were denser than what we have today due to their limited leavening agents. This is part of why cakes were often baked small or even flat as the larger a cake got the more work was involved to ensure that it wasn't dense and unpalatable. Below you will find the recipe, translated from the original which you will find at the end of the video. This is 1/3 of the original quantity and yet it will still make around 10 dozen small cakes! If you'd perfer a more modern texture feel free to add a dash of baking powder. Honey Cakes, 1796 7.25 cups of flour 0.8 cups of honey 0.8 cups of sugar 1 heaping tablespoon of cinnamon 0.6 tablespoons of ginger 2 eggs 2 cups of milk 1 teaspoon of pearl ash OR baking soda (it's closest modern relative) The zest from one orange + A pinch of baking powder if you desire a more modern result. I did not use baking powder in the video, only pearl ash + Combine your flour, sugar and spices in a large mixing bowl and give it a good mix. Disolve your pearl ash, if using, in a cup of warm milk. If you are using baking soda instead add it to your dry ingredients without first disolving in milk. In your mixing bowl now add your wet ingredients of honey, eggs, milk and orange zest. Add more milk if needed until you've formed a batter. Pour your batter into small baking cups no higher than half an inch in depth. Bake at 325 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
Honey Cakes still the Best Baking recipe from the 1700s, close second Is Honey or sugar shortbread cookies, or 1784 recipe Colonial Day Molasses Cookies
Would these make cookies or is there an old honey cookie recipe? I’ve been trying to recreate one form a local historical society who makes them for their Christmas bake sale but they won’t share the recipe. ☹️
@@amyramsay6633 This is older But the same one My Grate grand Mother Wrote down for My Grate Grand mother .1910 Anglo Saxon Christmas shortbread cookies. Ingredients: 100g butter 50g honey 1 egg 200g bread flour Blend together the butter, honey and egg. Can use Lard if you Have no Butter. Mix in the flour to form a stiff dough. Tip out onto a lightly floured work surface, and knead together for several minutes. Roll out the dough to about 1 cm thick, and cut into squares. Optionally, prick the tops with a knife. Cook in the center of a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 10 - 15 minutes, until golden in colour. Heat a dutch oven over the fire then Use coals to keep hot 15 minutes until golden in colour. Let cool . Hide from Kids.
I'm a homeschool mom, and my girls and I are doing a year-long American History unit this year. I already loved following along with your channel for personal enjoyment, but now we have a collection of recipes to try and recreate for our own enjoyment, thanks to you and Ron! You have taught me that old receipts aren't as intimidating as they seem. Between Townsends, Cabin Crafts, and your channels, we have so much extra viewing to further their interest in this subject! So grateful for all the living history leaders and participants out there, you guys all make history truly fun!
If you're worried about the density of these cakes or if they might get chewier or stiffer with time: I think the perfect solution would be to soak them with your morning coffee.
I love the sound of the fire burning and the food bubbling away over it. It relaxes me so much that I wonder how women from that time did not fall asleep while on the job.
Speaking as a man, we do have a way of breezing in after the baking is done to sample the goods, don't we? 😂 They look delicious Justine. Good job. Btw, I think MishMish has the longest tail in cat history lol.
Your videos of cooking are so tranquil and peaceful it's like you are so Zen. It's appreciated that you're not only bringing history alive once again, but there's serenity about the way you connect with the time and their processes. I also adore watching you with your kitty, it's so sweet. What a perfect little companion ❤
Looks scrumptious, Justine! I love the whole summer look of the cabin as well. Off to Bible class. Will see you & Ron later or tomorrow morning. Be blessed always! xoxo
I love watching you prepare and cook. I try to learn how to cook on a fire and make breads. You could survive easily without a stove. How spoiled we are! Thank you and for wanting to take your time and show that it is possible still today and be a successful cook over a fire. Most people would starve, lol ! Again, thank you and God bless you!😊
Thank you for efforts in making videos for us! It is very interesting to watch you function as a frontier's woman! I love your cabin. I am wondering if you could let us know occassionally the temperature inside the cabin while you are baking. Thank you for keeping your videos so authentic to the era!
Thank you! During summer the temperature inside of the cabin ranges from 100 to 125 degrees F while cooking. It can be quite unhealthy in there sometimes especially when you're in there all day. Still...I love what I do 😅
I particularly love early American history. Living in Virginia, I found Virginia history to be particularly interesting. It also helped that my family only lived about an hour and a half from Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg. I am 69 years old now and have very fond memories of our day trips. My grandfather was an avid American history buff, and almost every time they came up to visit, we went, and he especially loved it.❤
I love your recipes Justine. I think we should all quickly learn how to prepare food like this as with the cost of living crisis and the food crisis many ingredients we take for granted may be gone. I was amazed to learn about pearl ash. Your adorable cat is very playful and happy. We all need to embrace life as having so little is having a lot. It is 8.17pm in New Zealand now and it is cold and raining in the Waikato.
I had to look up Pearl Ash as I had never heard of it. I always learn something new on Justines' videos. I am a baker, and I love early American history, so finding their channel has given me many happy hours just relaxing.
Justine, can I make a friendly suggestion? When adding eggs to a bowl of flour, sugar, etc., always crack the egg into a separate small bowl, then pour into the dry ingredients. If you get a bad egg, it has only happened to me a couple of times in my life, but it sure beats having to try to remove it or throw out all of the dry goods.
As an ex-chef I really do enjoy the videos you work so hard at making for all of us. I've learnt so much and I look forward to the delights and lessons you have to offer us all down the road
Oh sweet Justine, you have such an incredible gift with open fire cooking. You make it look so easy. I hope one day you will share with us all different kinds of fires or coals to use, and which kind of ash or coals ot fire to use to cook or bake what? You sometimes use an outside oven with coals on the pan. Then, sometimes, like you did today, the Dutch oven with your food inside of it while you add colas pver the lid of the Dutch oven to bake. Or sometimes you put a metal trivet with coals underneath that thing with or without coals on top other times. And finally, to my recollection, you will cook directly in the fire by hanging meats with drip tray or you'll put your pot/pan directly over the fire and mix away while it cooks that way. There's other ways I've seen, but these are just examples I'd love to learn more of. I have a gas stove but have never cooked over open flame or fire pits. So I'd love to learn more how you do the amazing meals you do ob open flame. Great job! 😊👍💕
See??? How you just blew air in that long, metal tube with your mouth. How did you know you needed to do that? Sometimes you use an air pumper thing, kind of looks like part of bag pipes 🤷♀️? But all those tools around your fireplace have a use and you use them all perfectly, or brilliantly. Please share how you know all this, got started, etc? Keep up the amazing content 😊👍💕
I had a very big depression since pandemic and before that watching your videos and making the recipes really gave me back the will, god bless you , thank you for making thise videos
Those look so good. Your outfit is charming as well. Reminds me of the dresses they wore on Pride and Prejudice. I will be making those for sure, as orange is my favorite flavor for sweets. 😊
I just love when Ron comes in after Justine cooks or bakes anything and eats it. Her face lights up as does his. It brings you right back to that time when the women were at home and men were out working. A much better life if you ask me. 😊
I may create a castlevania fan project thats just a Rougelike igavania, the dream game is pretty much the 1999 Demon Castle War, but with a love letter to every castlevania game, especially Dracula's Curse with the three charaters being Desendants of the charaters of Castlevania 3, Alucard Excluded because he was there assisting the party. 1. Julius Belmont (Vampire Killer Tips, Subweapons & Spells, side ability: Whip Enhancement) 2. Alucard (Swords, Fists & Spells, side ability: Bat Form) 3. Diana Belnades (Gswords, Tomes & Spells, side ability: Familiars) 4. Petra Danasty (Knifes, Spears, Subweapons & Spells, side ability: wall jumping & faster speed) Also there'll be cooking in the game, Recipes for each food item can be found, Collect them to add to the Recipe Book, each one will temporialy increase stats for the remainder of the run & will go away once the charater perishes, Ingredients can be found in chests or are Enemy Drops, The cooking station will be at the base camp that is at the outside of the castle, you'll obiously have one Recipe & its the Honey Cake "A sweet cake thats made with... just take a guess!"
I have to tell you I love watching your show. I watch it because I learned about American history and cooking. I am not an American but it’s so wonderful to learn about the country I love. ❤ thank you. I watch your show every night as I’m cooking dinner 😇 you &I cook together ✝️🙏❤️
I recently went to an Antique store and got super excited about seeing items similar and just like some of the things Justine and Ron have in their cabin. Saw a mini Dutch oven there and several clothes irons. Plus, a vintage bed warmer.
OMG, Ron's face at the end! I think he really likes them. This looks like a really easy dessert to make. I can't wait to try them myself. Thanks for sharing! I really wish I had a long tube like you have, to keep your fire going. I need one like that for our camping trips!
I can't do what I do without that blower! Once I went reenacting at an event without one and I struggled all day keeping the fire going. It was embarrassing 😅. I'm attached to the hip to that thing now.
When I got to @0:58-@1:00 for some reason, I was flooded with the smell of the forest after it rains. Something so amazing about these videos that brings me back to growing up in New England.
My son was so excited to see your kitty, he said “he looks like our kitty! Look at smush mush!” 😂 Needless to say my family loves your channel and Mish Mish ❤
Ребята вы потрясающие. Я обожаю ваш канал и с нетерпением всегда жду ваших видео. Спасибо большое за вкусные и иртересные рецепты. Жюстина и Рон вы невероятная пара. Успехов и здоровья.
Your honey cakes are beautiful! Brought back so many memories of me making honey cake with my grandmother. We always did ours in a loaf pan. And I still have my grandmother's cookbook that was published in 1945.
I love when you show the actual receipt.... we(my son and I) actually had a learning experience looking up the different wording and phrases. We love going to an area located near us called Colonial Williamsburg Virginia, we are planning a big trip in 2026. Thank you for the history lesson and all your hard work. 😊
I am watching this now. I want to say how much I love watching your videos and taking the energy and time to make them. They make me feel wonderful. There is so much good to say, if I said it all I would miss all your video. Thank you so much!
The honey cakes look delicious. Thank you, Justine for the recipe. Mish Mish was adorable following you. Later Ron came to taste the cakes. He loved them.
I made these yesterday evening and my whole family loved them, eventhough indeed the cakes are really dense. Can't wait to try something else from your channel!
I love you two so much! It’s so wonderful when two like minded people who have the same goals and ambition fall in love! The other day my husband made me so mad! And instantly I thought (and I’m honestly telling the truth) I thought, I wish I had Justine’s big wooden spoon! So help me I did! Yes today I’m laughing about that today but the other day it was a whole different story! Lol As soon as I get my oven up and running again, I’m going to make this receipt, anything orange and cake. Is just perfect! Thank you and stay safe from the storms coming your way.
I have been watching your videos now since you began at the manor house! They are such a source of relaxation for me on Wednesdays! Honestly! Just getting around to seeing this today though.❤🎉
Hi Justine, I made this in the form of a whole cake vs smaller little cakes and used lemon zest instead of orange zest since I didn't have one. It came out really dense but delicious and my hubby has eaten like 4 large pieces already. 😋
Those look sooo yummy. By the way …way to work that fire! You just walked over there, blew a couple breaths in it, and pow flames!! Have you done a video on how you start, maintain, and clean up your cooking fireplace? Would love to see how you keep such an awesome fire AND cook on it!! ❤️
I'm starting to get over some weird sickness I've been dealing with for almost a month now and I've been super hungry lately (I was nauseous most of the time I was sick so I barely ate) but now that I'm starting to feel better I'm eating more and now that I'm eating more my body is getting used to having food in it again, and now that that's happening I'm hungry almost all day but especially at night since I don't eat food in my room, and I normally watch your videos to relax before I go to sleep so your videos have been making me extra hungry 🤣

I like seeing Justine's different outfits as much as the cooking part. The whole history vibe with the buildings and clothes is fun.
我也非常喜欢❤
Don't we all. Especially when she is showing off those sweater puppies

You might also enjoy English Heritage on RUclips with Mrs. Crocombe. We've done several of her recipes too and they're amazing!
We love Mrs. Crocombe too! Such a wonderful series. I've used a few recipes especially for holidays from over there. :) @@jacquelynlynch1397
That is a wonderful idea. You can teach history and cooking at the same time. The children should love that.😊
If you're worried about the density of these cakes or if they might get chewier or stiffer with time: I think the perfect solution would be to soak them with your morning coffee.
A mug of coffee and a stack of honey cakes. The perfect breakfast!
Please do an entire series from America's first published cookbook.
The honey cakes look so delicious! What a wonderful teapot.
I love seeing Justine gathering yellow plants and how cool was it the way she got Mish Mish home.
That was the most wholesome and joyful thing I've seen today! It's so interesting to see how things can be done with no machines and a good hot fire
This is my favorite Georgian era cooking channel
The Adventures of Justine and Ronald and Mish Mish!!!!!
I know it is hot, but the crackling fire sounds amazing!
I love the sound of the fire burning and the food bubbling away over it. It relaxes me so much that I wonder how women from that time did not fall asleep while on the job.
@@carole8142well less distracted also people slept longer back then less tired.
@@carole8142its not like now where time is more essential in rural societies and others back then time as we see it didnt exist
It was fascinating to see how you bake them! I love your videos, they’re both relaxing and educational❣️

Aww MishMish is such a hsppy cat. I 'm ready for some tea!
Those cakes are SO lovely, I come from a particularly Early American family: I can well imagine my New England ancestors enjoying these.
❤

They look delicious-I wish I had smell-o-vision Ron certainly seems to like them too!🤩💕
Awesome as always. I always look forward to your awesome videos.
Y’all are so adorable and this looks absolutely amazing!! They turned out beautifully!!
Your cooking videos are #1 hits for me. I just can't wait every week, just to see what you would cook up next.
Thank you that seriously made my day 💜thank you for taking the time to tell me that and thank you for being here.

Yes today I’m laughing about that today but the other day it was a whole different story! Lol As soon as I get my oven up and running again, I’m going to make this receipt, anything orange and cake. Is just perfect! Thank you and stay safe from the storms coming your way.

I have been watching your videos now since you began at the manor house! They are such a source of relaxation for me on Wednesdays! Honestly! Just getting around to seeing this today though.❤🎉
Thank you 🐝 🍯 for sharing. Your cat is so frisky and well loved I can see.
Love your videos, thank you for keeping history alive!
Hi Justine, I made this in the form of a whole cake vs smaller little cakes and used lemon zest instead of orange zest since I didn't have one. It came out really dense but delicious and my hubby has eaten like 4 large pieces already. 😋
Those look sooo yummy. By the way …way to work that fire! You just walked over there, blew a couple breaths in it, and pow flames!! Have you done a video on how you start, maintain, and clean up your cooking fireplace? Would love to see how you keep such an awesome fire AND cook on it!! ❤️
I'd also like a video on this subject as well! 😅
You guys are just SO adorable together! 🥰🥰
8:38 Eggs were smaller back then, so they would need more in their recipes!
Enjoy your video. Thank you for sharing the Little cakes look delicious!👍😊❤️
I just love Mish Mish so much. She's the cutest cat I know and the sweetest
Another great video, I liked it a lot. The Honey cakes look good. Keep up the good work!!!
I really enjoy your videos so much 😊
Beautiful, as always! Those look amazing! I think Ron approves! 😁💜
I love the crackling sound of the fire 🔥 place very relaxing 😌
That is some black cat! What a fine jumper. Holy Moo Cow: that was a generous amount of cinnamon!
I’m from Missouri and had no idea about this place I can’t wait to go.
Looks oh so yummy. gregg B. from West Virginia.
Watching from West Virginia also! Southwestern part of the state!
These look amazing; I've definitely got to try them. Love the little tins!
I'm starting to get over some weird sickness I've been dealing with for almost a month now and I've been super hungry lately (I was nauseous most of the time I was sick so I barely ate) but now that I'm starting to feel better I'm eating more and now that I'm eating more my body is getting used to having food in it again, and now that that's happening I'm hungry almost all day but especially at night since I don't eat food in my room, and I normally watch your videos to relax before I go to sleep so your videos have been making me extra hungry 🤣
