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.
