Steam prunes over boiling water until puffed and tender. Stone and cut into pieces. Cream butter and sugar and beat in eggs. Add cooled prunes. Sift in flour, cream of tartar, salt and spice. Dissolve soda in milk and stir in. (It is 1 of cream of tartar. If of soda; don’t think they have been reversed because it is contrary to the usual proportions.) Turn into the sugared tins, or bake in one large sized ring tin. Bake at 400 degrees about 45 minutes. Turn out on to a wire tray immediately they come from the oven.
