    put on the pan to bake, but the cake used to be generally cut into four equal parleys. When oatmeal bread was been made, oaten-meal and flour were mixed and wet with a little water for water was generally added in kneading in olden times. An oat-meal cake used to be very small as it had to be baked on the tongs. There used to be a cross cut out on the top of every cake to make it firm.
    Bread was baked in an oven or a pot-oven long ago. Griddle bread was baked on a support. This support was called a stand and it was made of iron. It is still used.
    Pan-cakes used to be made only on Shrove Tuesday.
