Remarks: This recipe can be found in many very old books, and may have come form the Old Norse language, where a heap of corn was known as Mugi. The word can be traced back through early English, where corn was refered to as Muge and later Muga. In it's ealiest form, it was probably made with yeast and honey instead of baking powder and syrup/sugar.
