notes:

• To be fair, in 1843 they would not have used powdered milks.  I use it here because of the ease of use of these fine products.  You could use fresh milk and buttermilk in the place of the water and the powdered milks but, depending on the brand and age of the milk, your results could vary greatly.  Just stick with the powdered milk - it works great. 

• As for powdered honey, this is also an ingredient that would have been unavailable in 1843.  However, that is no excuse not to use it now.  If you want to use fresh honey you will need to tinker with both the amount of other liquids used as well as increase the amount of flour that would be required.
