The receipt (recipe), Miss James Gingerbread, was used by Ellen M Emlen after she wrote it in her manuscript receipt book as she entered adjustments to the materials. She changed a tablespoon all spice to use only just a tea, and increased the cinnamon from a teaspoon to a tablespoon. There was no adjustment to the tablespoon of ginger and wine glass of brandy.
