    butter at home, cream cakes were common. Wheaten flour cream cakes were recommended for people with lung disease. A workman's breakfast at that time consisted of a quarter of a griddle cake, with home made butter and a "piggen" of skimmed milk. The "piggen" was a wooden mug containing a quart or a pint.
